Although Lynn is doing really well, she's not allowed to hang out in the common areas so I'll give today's update. She settled down after yesterday's fever and chills and is doing quite well today other than being a bit sore from all of the shivering. Even her nurse said that she's looking great. (A huge shout out to the nurses here on Unit 57 as they've all been wonderful!!)
Shortly, she'll get a new drug, Methotrexate, which will help with the anti-rejection (I think - all the meds are starting to get a bit confusing). They have to wait 24 hours post transplant for this first dose. Then she gets 3 more doses over the next 4-5 days. Lynn's spirits are good and she's really hoping that they'll spring here free tomorrow night for a couple of days. We had hoped for tonight but they're making sure that the fever/chills were not a sign of infection before they'll let her go. Fingers crossed that she'll be able to come home for a break.
Nancy, Susan and Marg (Lynn's Mom) were in for a visit today. Susan managed to get some well deserved rest and is feeling much better. Her check up today was good, so that should be it for her part. Marg just arrived last night and is staying through to the 26th.
Thanks again for all of the well wishes, prayers and good vibes. Have a good night!

Let Lynn know, Zelda is pulling for her! That should get a laugh or at the very least a smile!

I guess I should have gotten a Jimmy turtleneck for the chills!
Lynnie D. H. Glad the transplant is over and done and all went well. It's really a medical wonder. And this blog was a good idea. I went every morning to read the latest. Just mailed your Xmas card today, so Canada Post has a challenge. Sheila
