DAY -7

Hello Everyone!
Wow the first time to create a blog... how simple

Well today is day -7. Yes as in minus 7. The count down begins, 7 days to transplant (which is considered day 0) Not much to report as of yet. Today was his first day of radiation and he did very well his first round. I'm writing now while he's down for his next treatment. He's very tired from the Benadryl and lack of sleep so he slept most of the day away.

A goal the nurse has set for him is to walk at least 10 laps around the unit each day... first thing he noticed was the stationary bike in the hallway! Yeap, he asked if he could use that instead. A cyclist through and through!

The nurses have been amazing so far. They really know their stuff and have brushed up on Brett's history better than some of the doctors. They are knowledgable to all of his questions, which is a huge plus. They are also extremely polite! Nathan - his nurse last night even thanked him for his urine sample!

I will keep this post short so I don't bore you all with too much info
Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement
Love
Amy Jo
