Day -7 & -6

Day -7

For those new to this BMT journey that is how we will count the days till day 0 which is transplant day and from then on it will be + days.
We arrived at the hospital at 6:30 on Friday morning got admitted to the hospital and got her new room, which is huge and has 3 TV's in it and one is like a 52" TV. Should have pictures below. (Turnsout they are above) Then at about 8:30 she went down for her total body radiation. Which took a little while because of all the measuring that they needed to do. You should be able to see the contraption below that she had to stand in for about 10 minutes on each side and had to be real still for it. So far she has done really good, some times the radiation can make you really sick and nauseated. She has done well, still eating really good her new favorite is tater tots! She can order from the menu any time she wants between 6:30am and 7pm. She had a red cell transfusion last night and started to have an allergic reaction, so from now on she will get pre meds before she gets any blood products. I am sure now that she will be sleeping a lot more with the Tylenol and Benadryl. Other than that she is still her spunky little self.

Day -6
Today is Saturday and there isn't anything up on the agenda today but hang out and maybe get some platelets and premeds so I am sure lots of sleeping for her. Tomorrow, Sunday, she will start her Chemo and all those nasty meds and then we sit and wait for the side affects. Which I keep praying she doesn't get that badly. One of the chemos she will have to be force to tinkle a lot to flush the meds out of her kidneys and bladder.
I will try to keep you as posted as I can!
Blessings,
