Day 10+ of transplant
Day 18 in the hospital
  It's been a nice boring day here... just the way we like it :)   Paige has been pretty sleepy and rested most of the day.   While the diaper rash is still a problem, the combination of morphine and keeping her diaper off has helped the pain considerably.
Her labwork is looking  good.  Her
ANC is now 700.  They consider them "engrafted" when their ANC stays above 1,000 for two consecutive days.  They said with the combination of her improving labwork and no temperature for two days they will plan to insert her new broviac catheter sometime this week.  We've heard them throw around Tuesday, but that's nothing definate.  We'll update soon :)

Love,
Andy, Sandi & Paige
