Day 14 Hospitalization / Day 3 Post Transplant

Camryn continues to do very well. She has been very alert and active, even talkative. Her progress has been very, very good. Only one complication, she has developed an "air pocket" outside of her lung against the chest cavity wall. She was placed on oxygen last night and throughout the day to day to help dissipate the air pocket (has something to do with air pressure), which I will not even to try explain.  Camy will have another X-ray tomorrow morning and then we will know if the oxygen mask worked. If not, a needle will be used to "deflate" the air bubble. Camryn does not know that…yet. Lee Ann can tell her. Camryn still has her hair and no mouth sores. We hope it stays that way, at least for as long as possible. Camy has been downing snow cones, all that she wants to have. This might gross out some of you, but Camryn did have a little vomiting bout yesterday and was fascinated with all the colors of the liquid upchuck (compliments of the snow cone syrup). Sorry, I just had to tell that story, I found the whole thing hilarious. This I know, it's OK to laugh given the circumstances. Morgan continues to be lazy during her "recuperating" period. She is doing just fine and winces in pain only when I am around. It's not working Morgan, time to start babysitting again. Oh, what cruel world! Truth be told, had I gone through what Morgan did, I would still be in bed…watching the World Cup.
