Friday the doctors/nurses did a good job of keeping Trish sedated and it broke her cycle of nausea. Yesterday they didn't sedate her as much, she was awake more, but also nauseous and vomitting more. They have told her that they will start TPN (the IV feeding bag) within a week if she is still nauseous and not eating. They need to sedate her better than they have.
Other than that she is doing well. Her face looks like she is well tanned bordering on sunburn -- likely an effect of the busulfan and cytoxan more than the transplant. When GvH starts it is usually seen in the palms of the hands and the feet. So the nurses have assured me this is not yet GvH.
The chemo - for now - is done. We're not expecting to have to go through that again. I need to jump in the shower - Trish wants to pick up a card for her donor (which we have to send anonymously) and the gift shop closes at 2. she couldn't walk to the gift shop with the chemo running. We'll see how she feels, I may have to pick it up either way.
