Day 6- Post Transplant

Today was a hard day for Brody as his high temps have come back and he had to have a sponge bath. I cleaned him all up and then he vomited all over himself, so i had to clean him up again and the nurse helped me to change his sheets. He then had the runs all over the floor, so i had to clean him and the floor up again. Poor little man.

He also has a red spotty rash, which is more on his head and face, with a couple of them on his body. The doctors don't know what the rash is at this time, we just have to keep an eye on it.

He had more chemo today plus his usually meds and 7 machines. For the first time he drank a little bit of water. He has also had blood test after blood test, which i think he is getting use to as he tells the lady how to do her job.

Brody is weak and cold from the high temps and still loves watching his movies and playing Wii.
Today was the first day he had a sleep.

Every day i have to go around wiping all the cupboards, my computer, Tv and our posters etc down to keep dust and germs away. The nurses have a stock of all the things they need in the room with a trolley so that they are not bringing in things from outside. A cleaner comes in every day to clean the room and floors. My hands have started to wrinkle, dry and sore as the skin is breaking from all the hand washing i have to do. As before any one touches Brody they have to wash their hands with a special cleaner. But its all for the safety of Brody's health.
