Day +1 / Day +2

There is currently not much to report. 
On day +1 he was feeling very tired and had some nausea. But around 5:00 pm some energy returned and he ordered food from the kitchen. 

He received a little present on his stem cell birthday, a baggy with some goodies and this poster signed by the transplant team:


Today, on day +2, we had the opposite. He seemed very agitated and he talked basically non stop. I think all the steroids are getting to him. He also complained about not getting any sleep. His vitals are being checked every 4h, day or night. 
He spent the day on the pullout bed or on the chair since the bed felt too hot.

 
His blood pressure kept rising and he was feeling too hot. His white cell counts are at 0.2 (3.5 - 10.5 normal),  platelets are at 57 (140 - 390 normal). Lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils are 0. He had no nausea today and was eating well.
He will get a lower amount of steroids tomorrow and they will be further reduced over the next days. Hopefully that will calm him down.

Other than that, everything goes very well. I guess it will be Groundhog Day from now on.
