Day +7

A week out from the transplant, and so far so good. The doctors said the fluid retention issue is most likely nothing to worry about; the low albumin is just her liver's reaction to the toxins that were in her system due to the chemotherapy. She got a diuretic again this morning, but then during the day peed out more than she took in, so hopefully she won't need any more. With all the fluid, her weight is now up to 14.9 kilos, which is about where she was in January.

Otherwise, she continues trucking along. She had another really good day today, playing hard all day long with Grandma and Grandpa. She's had some quality time with them, as Keri has been gone a fair amount of the time dealing with apartment issues, and they've definitely bonded. She threw up again a couple of times this morning, but they put her back on the kytril anti-nausea medication, and she actually asked for some yogurt tonight. She didn't eat more than a few bites, but she had fun playing with it for half an hour or so, which is progress. The doctors are of course very pleased with how she's feeling. The most important thing is that she hasn't had a fever or any other sign of an infection. Let's hope it stays that way.
