Day +8

Nausea was even better today than yesterday. Mouth a bit worse, but it is manageable with the pain meds. She can still swallow her pills so that is awesome. Please pray about her shaky, jerky movements. Very difficult for her to get around and even turn over in the bed. Also she jerks some even when just lying in the bed...which is annoying. Doctors say this is temporary and she should start improving in a few weeks. She didn't need any blood products today and her white count was still a 0.1.
A friend came today from the local church that we had previously visited. She bought me Taco Bell which was awesome. Rachel did wake up for some of the visit and I am sure she enjoyed seeing someone besides me 24-7! Except for the jerky movements it was a pretty good day.

  1. Jill, Jan Z. posted your blog url on our prayer chain at Southtown along with prayer updates for Rachel. We are praying for Rachel and your family. We were on vacation when you visited, but I'm hoping we will get to meet you soon. I am glad you've been able to see some progress in Rachel. It's hard for a mom to watch her child feeling so rough!

    God's blessings to you both!
