.Today has been another roller coaster day. Stan was very sick this am with a migraine headache and vomitting. He got some meds,but they made him extremely confused ,tired, and unintelligible. He also seems to be retaining a lot of fluid, so more lasiks were given (which work, but allow him no rest for running to the bathroom every 1/2 hour). His oxygen levels have been low all day, so they are taking him for a chest xray tonight and giving him another antibiotic to make sure no pneumonia sets in. His white count was up again today which we thought was a good sign, but now they say he may have something called"engraftment syndrome" He will get some steroids to help that---unfortunately the side effects of this steroid are feeling more anxious,more emotional ,and less able to sleep---all 3 things that he doesn't need!!!!
So we wait for all the meds to do their work and hope for better newa and a better day tomorrow. These are the times I miss home the most----just waiting for what will happen next.

Hi Les,
I was having trouble getting the blog Thursday so I just saw your post. I suppose with such a complex process, there are bound to be things that come up that send a body into an uproar now and again during the adjustment process. Still, I'm sure you feel helpless on some level, but keep in mind you're in the best place you could be to be doing what you're doing.
Friday is a new, and hopefully better day.
We love you...Pete, Kimmie, Ryan and the furry kids
