While we are thrilled Mom has new healthy stem cells, we hate that she has to deal with the effects of chemotherapy.
The good news is there is no C. Diff. although she is having tummy troubles. They have been watching her closely for this but all tests continue to be negative. For that we are so thankful!
The bad news is Mom has developed a new symptom that she didn't have to deal with the first go around, but we are told it is quite common when recieving stem cells. Her mouth hurts. Bad. So bad, in fact, morphine is only taking the edge off. It hurts to talk, eat or swallow. This is a complication that will go away soon but we want soon to be sooner!
Continue to pray that there will be no C. Diff and that the lining of Mom's mouth and entire digestive track will heal quickly.
