Journal entry by Wendy Lee —
Today Ames is +30 days post-transplant. Overall, he is doing well. He still doesn't have an appetite and is battling nausea, but today he ate 1/2 of a strawberry. Our goal for OT (occupation therapy) is to eat a bite of something bland 3 x day. He is on a lot of medications and it's hard on his stomach since he also is dealing with delayed emptying of the stomach. I pray that this will improve with time. He remains on TPN for nutrition. Tomorrow will be his first bone marrow aspirate and biopsy post-transplant. I am a little anxious about this test since Ames went into transplant with evidence of disease at the molecular level. Prayer request for tomorrow is for his marrow to be clear of disease and his marrow to be 100% donor. Please continue to pray for sweet Ames and his complete healing. I will post as soon as we get biopsy results. Thank you all for your prayers.
