Day 4

Abigail continues to do well, with no fevers or significant issues to date. Her blood counts are all falling though, she'll need platelets tomorrow and effectively has no white blood cells left at all now. Thus we must be extra careful with sources of infection until the donor cells begin to produce her new immune system.

The one problem has been pain, as her throat and mouth are beginning to get very sore from the chemo. There are no ulcers or open sores yet, but it seems that they are on their way. To help her out she is now on a morphine drip. She has her up and down times, such as playing with Nanna and Grandpa today (here peek-a-booing), but then sleeping for a few hours and not really doing much else for the rest of the day. All of this is normal given what she has gone through, still, it is a shock to see her so flat after she has coped so well to date.
