Day 6

We're getting into the days the doctor warned us about now. Greta is starting to get mouth sores and she's been getting some fevers too. They have given her some morphine now to help with any pain. It's a real small dose and it does seem to perk her up a little. She had gotten a platelet transfusion yesterday and will get another one tomorrow along with a blood transfusion. She still isn't interested in drinking or eating, but that is to be expected. The good news is that everyone tells us that Greta is doing as well as or better than most transplant patients do.

I am still fighting these cold sores and hope to get them healed up soon so I can get back into the rotation of day and night time visitors. Gavin spent the day home today with a small fever and some coughing so he is back on antibiotics and we're hoping the rest of us can avoid anything he may have. He asks about Greta every day and would love to have his little sister home to play with real soon. He has been a trooper through all of this too. We make sure to pray for her every night and if we forget, he reminds us to ask for good health for everyone!

Thank you for the continued prayers!

Love,
The Betz Family
