Day 15-16 Hospitalization / Day4-5 Post Transplant

Tuesday

Health wise, this was one of Camryn's best days during her hospitalization. She finally ate some food (enchilada, because that is what she felt like eating) and had something to drink. She was as active as we have ever seen her; talking, walking, playing and just being Camy. She had another chest X-ray this morning and she is all clear of the "air bubble". Being on oxygen certainly did the job, and thus helping  her to avoid "the needle". This evening, Dr. Frangoul mentioned that Camryn is responding as well as any transplant patient he has treated. Morgan continues to improve as well, She is walking normally, but limps when she knows that I am watching her. It's her birthday on Thursday and I do believe that she is playing the sympathy card in hopes that the "bank of dad" will open its doors wide open.

Wednesday

Another good day for Camryn, except for one thing…her hair. Today the hair loss officially began. Tonight I could see plenty of it on her pillow and sheets. She is taking it all in with grace and dignity, at least as well as an 11 year old can. The hair loss will only get worse in the days to come as I mentioned before, Camryn will choose how she wants to manage the situation. Camryn ate some food again today. The more she eats the quicker she can get off intravenous feeding. Morgan spent almost all day with her in the unit playing games and making crafts. Morgan and Camryn met another 11 year old girl in the unit today, she is being treated for cancer. She is alone, some unfortunate family circumstances. So Morgan spent the day with her too, racing around on those "turtles"all throughout the 6a unit. Morgan has always had a tender heart for anyone or anything (animal) in need, especially for an 11 year old girl, like her sister, who just needed a friend.
