Day Four

Kelby is still hanging in there. Mike isn't getting too much sleep though. Kelby tosses and turns at night. She gets upset because her saliva is so thick and she can't swallow it. We have a neighbor in the next room who's son is on day 14 of his transplant. He is only 18 months old. He is getting the same treatment as Kelby for the same type of cancer. His blood counts started turning around on Day 8 and his mucusitis already cleared up a few days ago. He has other complications, but otherwise he would already be able to leave the hospital because his counts are so high now. So that gives us hope. Kelby hasn't had any other complications yet and the doctors seem to think she is holding up great. Tegan is a happy girl, so I am doing just great. We almost have a schedule going already! She likes the pacifier too, so that is always there if she gets upset. Today Mike is going to do a little work around Seattle, so I'll be here with both girls. It won't be a problem though. They also have voluteers here that stop by every couple hours to see if we want to get out for a minute. We are doing pretty good though. We will be getting a night off tomorrow. Tegan has a doctor's appointment on Thursday morning, so we are hopefully going to go home Wednesday night. Thanks again to everyone for continuing to pray! It makes a big difference. Love to you all.
