One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

This morning started out good -- Mark was tired but not sick. He was able to keep down some hot cereal.

After arriving at the Huntsman and getting hooked up to the IV, however, Mark has literally been sick and tired. He has slept a lot today, and when he's not sleeping, he's very nauseous.

Tomorrow they will meet with Andrea, the physician's assistant. Dianna will ask her if it's possible that Mark is having a bad reaction to one of the medications he has been taking.

Hopefully engraftment will start on Friday. Again, engraftment is the point at which the body starts to reproduce white blood cells and platelets needed to fight infection.
