Transplant day minus 1

Well Ros is off the chemo. That does not mean she is off having drips. Prior to the transplant she gets drugs to stop the transplant being rejected. And of course antibiotics, anti-sickness, potassium top-ups etc
Yesterday she was very sick in the afternoon- ie vomiting. This is quite common.  And today she has also felt nauseous. To combat that she has a new style drip (for her) that is put into her stomach via this clever pump whihc slowly pushes a syringe in - shown below


This works really well - and the nausea has gone away mainly. She is not eating nor drinking enough at the moment. A fresh cup of tea from the cafe downstairs helped a little, not to mention a bit of brownie

She had a lovely chat with the kids on Skype - they were full of various things they had been doing at school

  1. Fingers crossed for the big day.
    It's awful when you feel so rough, I hate feeling sick at the best of times so really do feel for you. Try & have a bit more chocolate brownie though!!
    Thinking of you.
    Lots of love Susanna (& all the hens!!) xxxxx
