Alyssa and I didn't sleep very well last night. I think that we were so relieved to have the transplant done that we couldn't turn our brains off. Alyssa was a little down today. She is so bored but I keep telling her that bored is good because she is not sick. We went for our walk around the nurses station today and her nurse came running up to her with saline in her hand. She told her that she doesn't have to be attached to her iv pole anymore and do you want it unattached right now. Alyssa was so excited. We then saw the doctor and I asked her if we could go outside. The doctor said lets go into my office to get some privacy. She told Alyssa that she is doing very well. Her numbers are dropping but she is not at zero yet. They will start the nupegen shots (those are the ones she gets to boost her white blood cells) on day 6. Today is day 1. She is eating well, drinking good. Then she told Alyssa the magic words, yes you can go outside. I think Alyssa was going to do a dance right then.
We went for a walk outside and she said that she was hungry after a little while so we came back in and had some lunch. She then promptly threw up. They gave her medicine for that and then she wanted to go back outside. I told her lets wait and see how the medicine works. She then went to sleep for awhile. After she woke up we went for a drive to a park and just sat on a bench in the sunshine. We had to go back to hospital to get some more medicine. She was very depressed to go back to the hospital.
When Kirk came she wanted to get a movie so she went and asked if she could go with him to the video store. They said sure. She was so excited.
All in all it was a pretty good day.
