Day 9: In the social media program Instagram members often post old photos on "Throwback Thursdays." In the same spirit I'm going to try to post pictures from Annie's first transplant on Thursdays. The pictures above are from February 14th, 2006, the day Annie had her first transplant. On the right is a picture of her stem cells, saved from her cord blood. My memory of the color of the cells was wrong in my earlier post. I thought they were yellow but they were that punch color. Still they seem much cuter than the bag of dark red stuff she got this time. Later that day Annie was given the above medal for getting a transplant. Day 0 was pleasant that time around which is why we were so shocked this year when she had such pain.
Things have improved in Room 3103 these days. Annie's appetite continues to pick up and food to stay down so she has ever increasing energy. Thus we're switching from pain and symptom control to boredom control. Games, games and more games. Also she finally had to meet with the school teacher so is working on some homework now. Well I should say she is doing everything to get out of doing her homework now. There is good and bad to everything.
