Day+2...
Slowly but surely...day by day we'll get there. Dr.M told Jason this morning that this will be a rough week...so that is what lies ahead.
This will be a rough week while we wait for Camryn's counts to return. Right now the days are rough, but we are thankful that Camryn is getting sweet care from her doctors and nurses. They are keeping tabs on her pain levels and it is working well thus far. There have been ups and downs today...but overall it hasn't been as rough as I had imagined.
Camryn is resting now and right now that is what her body needs most of all...rest.
Her spirits seem to be pretty good today...she misses her family, misses her home, misses her brother, but what little girl wouldn't? We are trying our best to help her feel comfortable and pass the time to make the days go quickly.
Camryn is on IV nutrition now and will be until she feels well enough to start eating again...no fevers, which is a HUGE praise...far as meds she is on the normal protocol for transplant. Really, there haven't been too many surprises...she is doing what the doctors expect and that's a good thing.
Camryn's throat pain is quite a struggle for all of us as this is nothing like her first transplant...but, the first time around she didn't have radiation. Guess this is what they meant by this time will be harder. But, we can make it through this week...day by day.
Dr. M said that the first sign that Wyatt's marrow is engrafting is that Camryn would start feeling better...white cells would begin fighting the sores in her throat. So, we await that day...until then we keep our little one comfortable...
Also, Wyatt is doing really well...I would say he's a 100% recovered. The doctors weren't lying when they said he'd bounce back quickly. He's doing okay, really misses Camryn...but tonight he is enjoying Daddy time at home.
So tonight Cam is resting...and we'll close our eyes on another day and pray for a new day tomorrow.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers...it's a long road, but we'll get there step by step.
