Trish continues to do well. She's a little tired today, she thinks that her nurse last night was extra generous with the sedation. It's all good though, because Trish really needed the sleep.
The plan is to keep her in till at least Tuesday. If they do not see the improvement they want from the steroids they will start a Cytoxan chemo treatment on Tuesday or Wednesday -- which will mean she would likely stay in longer.
As expected, the post transplant stuff is worse than the transplant. We really started getting optimistic, she was doing so well post transplant.
This is the scary stuff now. Today's nurse said not to get our hopes up for avoiding the cytoxan chemo. Either way, we are not looking ahead too far. We know to take it one day at a time. We know that with your prayers and support, we can make it through this.
The biggest thing now is keeping Trish in good spirits. If you get a chance to call her, please do -- I moved the hospital room phone number to the left column so it is easier to find. If you are not up to calling her, send her an email. Here's the best mailing address for now...it is the Hackerman house cause even if she gets out on Tuesday, we will be there for at least another week.... Trish DiComo; Hackerman-Patz House; 1909 McElderry Street; Room 6; Baltimore, MD 21205 Sending cards here will insure she gets them quicker than at her Aunt's house this next week or two.
