Approaching 100 Days

After suffering with nausea for a while now, the doctors performed an endoscopic procedure on Sharon last Friday. They wanted to get a good look at her stomach to see what was going on. They do not have any definitive results as of Wednesday but it does not appear to be anything serious. The good news is that Sharon has not felt nauseous for a few days now.

Sharon's 100th day since the transplant will be on Sunday, December 13. On Wednesday, she began her 100 day evaluation tests. She had a bone marrow biopsy and pulmonary function test. Yesterday, she had a chest x-ray and a pentamidine treatment. Today, she is having some blood tests, a bone mineral density test and has a meeting with the BMT Pharmacy.

She sounds great and feels a little better each day. She is eating better. Hopefully, these tests will show that she is improving enough to be able to come home.

Dr. Hogan is attending a Hematologist convention in New Orleans. They are awaiting his return to receive the results from these tests.

There was a blizzard in Rochester Tuesday night. Bob said they received 10 1/2 inches of snow. The temperature is in the single digits with a below zero wind chill factor.
