This Tuesday morning started out with the promise of being a better day, but after a shower and some exercises Rachel was vomiting and back in the bed. The doctors here are very good at trying to find the best meds/doses that work for Rachel. They really want the patients to be as comfortable as possible. So once again I say sleeping is a blessing and she has slept most of the past few days.
As you remember to pray for Rachel please pray for the donor that is giving their marrow on Friday. What an awesome thing this person is doing for someone they don't even know. Besides all of the tests they have gone through, they will also have this surgical procedure done, so please lift this person up to the Father. Tomorrow is the last day of the chemo Clofarabine. Thursday starts the chemo Melphalan for one day and the total body irradiation on Friday and transplant day on Saturday.
