Two weeks post-transplant

It has now been two weeks since Jill's transplant. Jill had been in the hospital since the transplant to guard against infection, especially respitory syncytial virus (RSV), which had been quite common in the Seattle area this winter. On Friday she was released from the hospital based on the assessment that the risk of infection had decreased sufficiently. However, following bouts of nausea Friday night she went back into the hospital on Saturday. She is now rehydrated but still in the hospital where the doctors can more easily monitor her condition and deal with the side effects of the chemo she is receiving.

Sylvia is now almost fully recovered from her surgery and is able to care for Jill. I returned to Missouri on Friday.
