Day 21- Post transplant

Wow!! we have been here for around 7 weeks all ready, how time flys! We still have about 3-5 weeks to go but everything looks great. Knock on wood!!!

I was not prepared for Brody to do so well as because of having the extra chemo on top of everything else and what the doctors were preparing me for. I was expecting so much worse, but we only have had little things. Brody is such a legend and a fighter, i think he is an Iron Man to get through what he has done so far. Proud of you my little boy!!!

Yesterday and today he has had low heart rate, low, low temps, high blood pressure and very tired. The doctors have said its all from the effects from the drugs and they are not to worried. He has started to be slowly taken off the steriods and morphine. He did need a extra push of morphine today as he was sitting there making noise like he was in pain and when i asked him he told me that his tummy hurt.

He will have a protien transfusion tomorrow as the protien in his blood is low and the physio will be starting to come to help build up his legs to do more things out of bed. He has sharpie's every second day now. The rash looks so much better now, as it only comes and gos.

Thank you again to all my friends and family xoxoxox
