Day + 7

Terry got another pint of blood today. They had to put the line in his hand because he already had stuff going in to all the other lines. Walked the halls again and drank some orange juice and grape juice. He got a drug that is suppose to help the effects of the chemo given yesterday. His kidneys seem to be performing better. He has had an elevated temperature but he is not permitted to have even Tylenol. He is pretty miserable but thankful that there is no indication of HVGD (Host versus Graft disease). Thanks to some really sweet friends (the Wintons) who loaned us a laptop computer, we are able to continue the blog even while we are out of town. I am dealing with an abcessed tooth which is under a crown on one side of a bridge. An emergency trip to the dentist resulted in my being placed on antibiotics and analgesics. I am currently in a lot of pain and nauseated. While praying for Terry, put in a word for me, too! Please remember to pray and page, but remember "no visitors" and they really don't need phone calls coming into the room at this time. Cards of encouragement would be great! Thank you all for being so faithful in your caring and your praying! Love to you all, Karen
