Day -2 (Wednesday)

Greetings!
We are at day -2 and this day has almost come to an end. She is finished with her Chemo's and almost finished with the flushing of the bladder and kidneys, where she has to tinkle every two hours. She has done very well with just about everything. I, of course, know that there are still rough days ahead that she has to get through. She did very well with the chemo and ATG which is some pretty nasty medicines. Today she has had a tummy ache most of the day with just a touch of nausea. She told me yesterday that she doesn't feel good. I told her it was more than OK to not feel well. I tried to explain to her that we had to tear her down in order to rebuild her up! Tomorrow is also the day that they will harvest the marrow from our donor. Please keep this very special person in your prayers whoever and where ever they are, they will for ever be our hero!! I pray that this donor has a very easy harvest and is safe and know what a wonderful thing that they are doing. I pray that Amelia keeps doing great and has lots and lots of smooth sailing through out this transplant journey!
She hasn't gotten many mouth sore yet but they will be coming next week, unfortunately. I pray though that they are minimal.
So far I am the only one who has spent the night with her at the hospital, I think Friday night she will let her papaw stay the night with her. I know that Nathan is having mommy and daddy with drawls, I haven't had as much time as I would like to spend with him. I know that Amelia needs me now and I pray that some day he understands this. It is so hard to be a family "torn apart" in so many directions, I know we will all get through this. I pray to all our special angels in heaven are looking out over each of my children! Especially their special brother angel Seth and my Nanny!
Well I am heading to bed to get a little sleep while I can!
Blessings every one!
