Transplant went well. Q stays nauseated and very tired which is to be expected. He came home with an IV bag connected to his chest cath that I change every 24 hours. It has meds for nausea and other fluids that he needs to keep him hydrated. We went back to the doctor on Friday to check his levels and they had not begun to drop yet. The doctor said he should bottom out over the weekend. Next week will be the hardest week for him. His white and red cells will be pretty much zilch. He will be extremely tired and weak. He is such a good paitent. He never complains. He is such a strong person.
The hardest part for us is being away from our kids. I knew it would be hard on us I just never realized how hard it was going to be on our kids. Even though they are with my mom who they adore and we skype with them at least 3-4 times a day....it is just not the same.
Praying for a speedy recovery so we can be at home with our babies.
