day+8

so it is day plus 8 and this is the critical time-well starting day 5-whenever i start to engraft-
so far, i havenot had any bad mouth sores-and i am doing really well for what i am doing through.
it sometimes feels funny saying "i'm doing good" because of the vomiting and the tiredness, but in general, my doctor told me it looks like i will survive through this part-quite a tact-but he made me laugh
we had been having some issues with my blood levels and prograf. my blood levels were too high but they had to lessen my dose by about half. so now it's better.
i've been getting transfusions-thank you for donating. i think i still need more platelet transfusions if you'd like to come and donate.
i know people are getting sick and stuff now.
i drew a bunny with an ATG necklace on hm-that i will put up and throw things at when i am mad. the ATG, this rabbit blood that i got-or serum really was awful for me. it was the worst so far. as far as experiences go here...but sunday is easter, so saturday night i'm dying easter eggs..yes!
the food is okay. i am not typically in the mood to eat but i try to eat every meal in another way to avoid mucusitis. i have not had any fevers besides a few at the beginning but everything has come back negative.
let's jsut hope things stay this way for a a little bit longer.
the doctor said that if things just keep going according to plan, i will look at getting out of here next week.
hackensack has been really great. the nursing staff and doctors are realy good..and i trust them. i did ask for platelets today though because i found them necessary.
my mom has been here all week.
thank god for her.
my best friend jenna is coming tonight really late and will be here for a few hours tomorrow.
oh yeah

i think i'm going to take a sleeping pill and try to get to bed.
i hope everything is good and everyone is doing well.
i am checking my email a lil more now. at first i really wasn't dealing with much
each day is its own and there are days, i might do many things and some days i just don't feel like being on the phone or any technology.

but i enjoy the emails and if i don't get back right away, i will get back as soon as i can
love
jenn
