Journal entry by Lindsay Clemens —
Hello everyone! Sorry that it has been a while. Ady's first Bone marrow transplant was tough. Tough on her, tough on me, tough on our family. I really did not want to share what we were experiencing. Honestly, I wish I could un see most of it. Watching your baby have to go through this is extremely difficult and I hope none of you have to experience anything like this.
That being said, we are back at Children's for bone marrow transplant #2. She'll get intense Chemo starting today. 5 days of 3 different chemo drugs that will more than likely affect her kidneys, liver, and hearing. She will probably develop mucositis again, as she had severe mucositis with #1. Poor baby had GI tract sores from her mouth to tush.
While I will try and keep updating, if you dont hear much just know we are trying to just push through this. Ady is very strong. And while this will knock her down, she will get through it and be stronger because of it. I think we all will.
