There is a preservative that they use in the stem cells when given back and it secrets out through the skin and mouth and it smells like cream of corn, it was awful! But thank god that didnt last very long. Onyx is now starting to get his mucositus back which he will have alot vomiting going on with irregular bowel movements, because of the sores that form all down his digestive track. We moved back to 6 West on the 8th at 9:30PM, when they say you have a bed on the floor you are heading to you better grab it because it might not be there the next day and the waiting game starts all over.
Since being back on the 6th floor it has been uneventful other then his mucositus, but we are kinda used to that after being through 2 other rounds before, well except for this morning. Onyx decided that he didnt want his NJ tube in his nose anymore and ripped it and was holding it for the nurse when she came in to check on him this morning. This is the third time he has ripped it out so far, and this time they have to do a fluoroscopy to make sure its going into the right area.
