Day -6

First thing this morning Rachel didn't feel that great, but was able to get a shower and get some of her physical therapy exercises done before she started to feel really bad again which was around 9:30am. She had her second dose of Clofarabine and will receive 3 more doses of this particular chemo. Most of the day she has either been nauseated and vomiting or sleeping. Sleeping is a good thing. Tonight they started her on TPN..total parenteral nutrition which goes into her central line. Most all patients going through a transplant get this at some point when they stop eating. She can still eat anything she wants there are no restrictions.....but right not she doesn't want anything. She had another dose of nausea medicine around 10:00pm. Hopefully she will get a good nights sleep.
