Day2- post Transplant

We had a normal morning and after mid day Brody was not himself, he was very tired, frustrated, crying easy and just feeling down.

He has started to get Mucositis, which is a painful ulceration of the mouth, throat and gut and can also cause cramping, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Brody has the diarrhoea with a very sore and red bottom. His temps are in the low 37, his head is still red and saw to touch. He has one blister on each ear.

The pain doctors have hooked up heavy pain killers if needed for the weekend but at the moment he is having some panadol. The transplant doctors are slowing down his feeds and giving him all the vitamins in the drip to give his gut a little break and help it heal.

After the panadol he was feeling better and watched some movies in bed just having a rest, as bye now he was awake again and couldn't sleep.
