Day +7

Today Rachel's nausea was a little better. She is on pain meds for the sores and that could go on for at least another week. When she is awake the pain is under control and so is the nausea. So all in all a better day, still sleeping a lot and very shaky in her movements. She had to receive platelets early this morning because they were down at the 4am labs. They tested her white count today for the first time and it was a 0.1 it has to be at 0.5 for 3 days and then she can go out of the room and walk in the hallway with a mask. The doctors said this will probably not happen for a couple more weeks. It is normal not to see much of a count at this time. During the next few weeks the white count will go up and down and will not be steady, so they say. So far things are progressing well, no major set backs and we are praising God for that.
Prayer concerns:
nausea stays under control
mouth and throat sores stay under control
that she does not develop any fevers
white count continues to rise
