This has been a day of ups and downs. We had an absolutely great weekend with Melissa and Meredith. Lots of watching movies, playing games, talking and laughing. Rachel and I were both sad to see them leave this morning and we have been homesick today. Counting down the days until we can go home..currently at day 31 - post transplant so 69 more to go. Yesterday Rachel started having a hard time getting around with her walker. Today we had to use a wheel chair to get her from the car into the clinic. That is very discouraging to her since she had been doing better last week. We are wondering if it is a reaction to the new nausea drug they started her on last Thursday. That drug has really seemed to help with her nausea and appetite so the doctors want to see how she is on Thursday. Her counts were good today and her appetite has increased to the point they are taking her off of TPN (nutrition) to see how she will do.
Prayer requests
She continues to eat and will not have to go back on TPN
Her walking and hand and arm movements will improve
She continues to have no infection or fevers
Her counts stay good
