Sue,
If the doctor is right about "a few bad days" then keep thinking how, in a matter of days, it'll start getting easier for Amy. For most days, today will be better than yesterday.
Amy's medical progress sounds good. That she's eating solid food this first week really impresses me. (My wife couldn't eat solid food for many weeks after her transplant.) No matter what she feels up to eating or drinking, it will help her regain her strength and some sense of normalcy. Don't worry if she has peculiar food preferences, and don't worry if there's a bad day when she can't manage eating. It's the overall progress that matters. So far so good!
Drug allergies and the need for other medicines (e.g., the phenobarbital) complicate matters, but that's where the doctor's experience and knowledge pay off. Good luck in the coming days.
