Day 8 Post transplant


We did all our normal routine things of cleaning, shower, sheets change, rubbing cream, blood tests, meds and machines buzzing. We also watched movies, played Wii, did some drawing and played DS. Brody also had yet another platelet transfusion today as his levels were low. If he has low platelets it can cause bleeding, as platelets help to clog the blood.

Brody's rash seems to be getting worse as it looks like it is spreading. In the photo you can see the real red parts but not the spots that are faint. The other photo is of our 7 machines which we call our chrissy tree as they light up and make all different sounds.

Brody's temps have gone down again, but the doctors still think that they will go up and his effects will get worse. But they have said that they are pleased with the way he is coping with everything. I also felt really proud of my self as they told me that i have done a great job with getting him ready with everything and the way he is still happy and not getting to sick of everything. But thanks to the help with ABI, as i wouldn't of got this far without them. They also told me i had two great boys, Well i always knew that one, as i have raised them with all my love and made sure they respect others.
