Day Minus 4

Today has truly been a horrible day.

After a good night, which was only interrupted by the constant beeping of her pumps, Holly woke feeling sick again.
This is how she has felt all day and I have lost count of how many times she has actually been sick. She has dozed a bit but has been unable to get into a deep enough sleep to stop the sickness. As a result her throat is now quite raw and she is very miserable. The docs have prescribed another anti-sickness med and we will try that later. A good rest is probably the best thing at the moment and she has just now fell asleep. She has been unable to eat anything today so the docs will decide tomorrow whether to give her a bit of help in that department, and give a nutrient feed through her hickman line evernight.

At least the end of this chemo is in sight, it should be finished by around 9pm tomorrow night and she will have the weekend free before the stem cell transplant on Monday.
