I wish I had something good to tell everyone tonight...but pretty much today was the same as yesterday. Brett's throat is really hurting today, and it's been told to us many times that it's going to get worse before it gets better. He's on morphine now because the pain is pretty bad and he's doesn't want to swallow. You'd think somewhere in the wide world of medicine they'd have treatment for this mucositis but all they can do is try to control the pain. So that's what we're trying to do... get the pain undercontrol
Other than that his counts are still going down, we are counting the days until we see the first increase in them and the first sign of engrafment. That will be a great day!
Brett's also not talking a lot, and if you've sent an email ...he hasn't even checked that in days. I'm trying read his mind and figure out what he's thinking. I want him to be in the best frame of mind he can be in right now. I know the emails would be great for him to read because I know you are all sending best wishes and encouragement. So that will be my mission for tomorrow.
Time to get back to the room.
peace, love and happiness until tomorrow!
