The Third Day is a Bad Day for BMT

I talked to Chris(Kristy's husband)he is at the hospital with her today. The nurse had said that the 3rd day would be worse than the first 2 days and now we know what she means. Chris said that Kristy lip is swollen, her throat my be swollen, and that her chest hurts and she is sick in her stomach. They did an EKG and her heart is okay. Kristy has had to have a IV drip for a bunny rabbit virus. So if any of you have bunny rabbits remember this. If they pee on you it causes a virus to remain hidden in you. (Kristy had a dwarf bunny years ago) And when your immunity gets down the bunny rabbit virus comes out and causes problems. So they have to treat or prevent this virus from being a problem. So she can't eat or swallow very well right now, but in the next couple of days this should be better. They have been given her morphine for pain and she has reactions to morphine so they have to put her on another one that is comparable. So right now she is very miserable. But the doctors and nurses say she is doing as is expected. Just keep praying for her. I will update tonight after I get home from seeing her.

Kristy,

I wish there was something that could make the side effects of the treatment more bearable. It must be horrible.

The thing you have to do now is stay strong and get thru each day, one at a time.

Keep a strong outlook. Attitude is everything.

Our prayers are still with you,
