Today Shanean is quite sore due to the mouth sores - her mouth is not too bad due probably due to the trial drugs she was given - but her throat and ears that are causing the most trouble
She is now on morphine for the pain and had two blood transfusions yesterday, once the morphine kicks in she is able to get some food down and hold a conversation which is good
Given this the staff are very happy with her progress - she is a textbook transplant case apparently and is also apparently lucky as she only has mouth sores as a side effect. Stomach problems are also very common with transplants and she hasn't got any of this
Still doesnt make her mouth sores any less painful though. More than halfway now - should expect engraftment this time next week or a bit earlier hopefully
