Day -7
Today was a much better day! I arrived at the hospital to find Doug walking briskly up and down the halls to log in his 60 minutes of walking. He has already made fast friends with men in the unit. One got his stem cells today and was walking right after! He is a real inspiration.
The doctors saw Doug today and said that they were going to give him a stronger antibiotic and start ATG along with the chemo. Help me forum friends! I thought that ATG was usually given to patients who were not going through a BMT. And the doctor said it was rabbit serum--I thought it was from horses! Someone please clue me in!
We know that this is the "honeymoon" period for Doug. He is eating well and feeling well. We are enjoying these times while we can.
