Day Feb 4th

It’s everyone’s favorite guest blogger Matt back for an update.  Jennie’s energy started off strong over the last few days, but the chemo may be starting to catch up with her a little bit.  She was much more tired tonight vs. this morning.  So we did 100 squats this morning, but down to a 1/2 mile walk tonight from a mile yesterday.  Everyone is very worried about her getting up too quickly and passing out so we are practicing her taking her time getting up.  What that really means is her continuing to get up too quickly and me yelling at her to go more slowly.  Just because the r in the medicine rATG is made from rabbits doesn’t make her extra speedy.  That is a nurses joke because one of the meds is apparently made from rabbits.  I let Jennie know that it is made from really old rabbits who were not nice rabbits at all and really didn’t have much of a future anyway.

Keep sending the text messages.  I think as she gets more and more tired she may not respond as much, but she likes getting them.

It is amazing how many people who are here going through the transplant for all sorts of different conditions.  Dr. Burt comes every day, even weekends.
