Day +6



So plus 6 today. I still have crazy mucusitis and can't eat or drink anything. But other than that I feel pretty well. The past few days I started to develop a rash on various parts of my body and today it got worse so we discontinued the one anti-biotic that I was taking and switched me to another one. The doc's said the itching would probably not stop right away but it won't get any worse. Tomorrow is one week since my transplant, I can't believe it. I throw up about 5 times a day now on average, mainly because I just kinda choke on my flem that is all built up in my mouth. When I puke though not a lot of stuff comes up, just some gunk from my stomach and flem and some blood that is clotted and sitting in my throat. When my counts start to come up that would be the indicator that the stem cells are grafting, so let's pray that my counts recover.


God has great plans for you and will see them through.

Hey Derrick!

I hope you get better with each passing day! There's a tray of stuffed shells with your name on it when you get home. :)

Praying for you everyday.
Love,
Michele

Alright now I'm jealous! I haven't had Michele's stuffed shells in 10 years. You look great by the way!
