Day 8

I am posting this on Wednesday morning. A much better day yesterday for Camryn. Lee Ann was with her all day and the last two nights. Camy actually ate something, lime salted popcorn and sour popsicles. Now, while I question the selection of "food" to eat, it was something. Knowing Lee Ann's ridiculously strange cravings for the sour, I am not surprised this is what Camryn reached for. The nasty nausea has somewhat subsided for the time being, but it is sure to return so we are just appreciating this little break of having Camryn more active. The transplant team met with Lee Ann and Camryn yesterday and reviewed the "finer" details. Wednesday is the last day of chemotherapy. Camryn has already begun taking "anti-rejection" medication, along with some additional medications to aid the "grafting" process. Camy is on so many meds that I have lost count, but Camryn can tell you. She can tell you about the meds that I can't even pronounce ( a little bit of McKay in her maybe?). The next five days are extremely important. Lee Ann and I will swap places today (Wednesday) and then both of us will be primarily at the hospital Friday through Monday. I will reveal the details and timing of Friday's marrow harvesting from Morgan, and the actual marrow transplant once we have them. If Morgan is nervous, she still is not showing it. I know things will be a little different for her when she is being prepped for surgery. It's then, that Morgan's integral and essential role of this story becomes reality.

This picture pretty much reflects what had been Camryn's
primary activity level the past few days, until late yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon.
Had this been me, this would have been my activity level since hospital admission.
