Day -1 before Bone Marrow Transplant

Todd did not have a good night. He had difficulty sleeping and began to feel chilled. He began to run a low grade fever, which prompted some diagnostic tests to check for infection: blood cultures, chest X-ray, urine samples. 

It will take up to 48 hours to hear anything back on the cultures. His counts overall were still good, with mostly his ANCs dropping a bit. 

He is nauseated and doesn't feel good. He will likely spend most of the day I. The bed. The staff here is very good at addressing pain and nausea right away and giving him medicine to help with those symptoms. We hope to see some improvement so he can eat something, but the next few days are going to be challenging.
