Day 7- Post transplant

Brody started the day happy and full of beans. He did a little bit of craft and played a superhero card game.

Then all the fun started as the blood lady came in to take his blood, she did the arm first, but no blood would come out, then she twirled the needle around and took it out a bit to try again and again, but no luck. So after looking at the other arm and his hands, squeezing and pulling, she decided to do his hand. But she only got a little bit of blood, but left Brody in tears and pain and me feeling stressed and angry as i had to be the nasty person to hold him down for it all.

All this stress on Brody made him have a dirty nappy so then i had to change him, and while i did all the doctors had walked in. Great, no privacy. They told me Brody's temps will still go up and down, there is no sign of infection at the moment in his bloods. They also gave me a cream that i can rub on his dry skin. But they are pleased with his progress.

I gave Brody his shower and changed his dressing for his cords and his nose tube dressing, as they need to be done once a week. He really hates this as the stickys are really sticky and hurt when they are pulled off.

The afternoon he was tired out and just layed in his bed and watched Tv.

Thank you again to all my family and friends helping us and supporting us, we couldn't do it without you all. xoxo There is also a big thank list on the side wall of the blog page. Thanks again.
