This is day three post therapy and Nellie is having more severe mouth sores with fever. Seems like she gets fever when new sores appear. Gets as high as 102 degrees. Everytime the fever gets over 101, they do a blood culture. So far all cultures have come back negative. With all that she has managed to muster up an appetite for hot dogs and peanut butter. She can't stomach much else.

Doctor Morris said yesterday that she would probably start losing her hair in a few days. I think she has already started. She noticed more hair in her brush today. But she was ready for that. No problem she says, I can live with that! That's what we want. She had more platelettes Tuesday and more red cells on Wednesday. The Dr is keeping a close eye on her. She also gets antibiotics regularly along with the fluids she needs to remain hydrated. So far so good. Dr says her major organs seem to be operating well with no signs of problems. Some neusea and loose bowel movement but not too bad.

So keep on praying. You guys are coming through for us. Keep up the good work and God bless you all.
