Stem Cell Transplant Day -7

Today has been one of the toughest days so far in this journey. I'm scared for what is going to happen to my guy and worried about the way the next few weeks are going to go. Lincoln so far has been in pretty good spirits, he thinks it's pretty neat grandma is staying the night with us. For the first three days, Lincoln will be receiving a chemo that requires him to bathe every six hours. Grandma is staying to help with the extra stress and be a great distraction for Lincoln.

Lincoln and Grandma first day of transplant

At 10 pm he had his first bath, it started out ok but it ended with a dressing change and it went down hill. We'll all wake up at 4 am and do it again. I can't wait until Friday at 4 pm! Another unfortunate side effect of the chemo is that Lincoln can't leave his room, we don't want anyone outside of his room to be exposed to the medication coming off his body. Anyone who touches him needs to wear gloves which is particularly difficult for this mama to do but I'm trying.

All and all we got through today, Lincoln overall was happy and we're pushing through. Thanks for all the support so far, we appreciate it all and certainly need it right now.
