Day +7

(Written by Lisa): I am currently in Jon's hospital room with the kids - we got here early, and then we're headed to my Aunt's house to go sledding. Jon has had a few difficult nights as his fevers keep returning each night, so he doesn't get much sleep. As a result, he has to get chest xrays and they come and draw cultures out of his arm - we are now at 3 nights in a row. He's also has a rash that bothers him, and they think it is from one of the antibiotics, so they are taking him off of it. If it goes away they know it was the drug. If it doesn't, then it's probably a reaction to the transplant (called "graft verses host disease"). We'll wait and see what happens. He's in pretty good spirits for the most part, and it been good for him to see the kids, but he is exhausted. Probably as soon as we leave here he will take a nap for a while. Please pray that Jon can get some rest today and that he sleeps well tonight, and that his vomiting continues to stay under control (breakfast went good today).
