Days +1 and +2

Days + 1 and +2 were rather uneventful. They were meant to be days of rest and that's what they were. I have been sleeping fairly well, (as well as you can in a hospital) but the more fluids they infuse the more bathroom visits I need to make during the night. I am on various medications - anti-fungal, anti-viral and antibiotics to insure I won't contract something I shouldn't. My blood counts are beginning to decrease so I am becoming more susceptible with each day. I am feeling okay, just plain tuckered out. Tomorrow I start back on IV Cytoxan chemotherapy for two days and then I just need to be patient and let my new marrow do its job. I'll keep ya posted.

I have to say, this experience has been such a science lesson. The process is so complex it's hard to imagine how it was ever conceived!

  1. Hi Bev,
    Your post made me chuckle a bit when you wrote about the "science lesson". I keep thinking about all the talks you and I have had about how the good stuff somehow seems to know where to go in your body to do it's work. It is truly amazing and I always say "these are amazing times we live in".
    Today as always you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.

    We love you!

  3. Bev- I'm so happy to hear that all is going well and that you are able to rest and let the new marrow kick in. I hope that the next few days are smooth sailing. I'm thinking of you.

    Hugs,
