Doing better than we thought

Katie is doing really well with the Foley overnight, much better than we expected. She's also doing much better with her sleep issues, which is amazing considering we added the Foley to the mix. We've added a few things to help with that, she has a special essential oil blend that she uses under her nostrils, we read a story (or part of one) each night, and we have a set of walkie talkie's that she and I each have overnight so she doesn't have to yell out to let us know she needs something.

We're doing the abx until 5/8 so we still have a ways to go on that. And the Foley is until the urine culture after the end of the abx so... I have to get working on an insurance issue with the Foley's and bags this morning.

Glad to hear she is doing better. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Most questions were prior to transplant because that is where I am now in my journey. Very excited to hear her energy level is up without procrit. I know that Valcyte was on my list of meds to take after transplant, but not sure for how long. Please tell her she is my little hero. I have 2 toddlers (boys) and they keep me very busy. :)
