Trish feels better today, but as with life everything is relative. She is asking for sedatives now to sleep through the pain. The anxiousness is subsiding.
The first thing Trish asked me this morning was how the boys were doing at camp -- they both called me last night, so I was prepared with a real answer for her. They are both enjoying camp -- the lacrosse is good, the weather is hot. Matt was waiting for a Pizza in his dorm room. Andy was excited that they had $100 sticks for $50 -- so all is right and normal in the boys world, or at least as normal as it can be with your Mom in the hospital.
This morning the nurse told me that the Cytoxan was given with steroids and I think the steroids are more the problem than the cytoxan. Though the Cytoxan is a much heavier dose than she received previously.
She will likely sleep today away and I have disconnected her room phone so it won't disturb her. Feel free to call me if you want a personal update.
She will receive two days of Cytoxan after the transplant, but it will be without the steroids so we'll see how that does for her -- I think it will be much better. Tomorrow is the big day. The donor will be harvested in the morning and Trish should receive the marrow sometime tomorrow. This is it. Day zero is tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who continues to support us in everyway, I pray that you never have to experience anything like this any more than you have experienced it through us.
Still a few more days to respond to the survey in the left column. The software I use just added the survey feature so I thought it might be fun to use.
