Day 9 update

We are boring according to the doctors.  Boring is a good thing around here.  They are so surprised that Michalla hasn't had any fevers or infections yet.  She came into this transplant with such high risk of nfection, having never recovered from the last round of chemo so being without 'counts' for over 2 months now.  They just can't believe how well she is doing.  Well is a relative term.  While I am sooooo thankful that she is doing well in the area that really matters, Michalla would argue that she isn't doing well at all.  They have had to up her pain meds. She also has to be on oxygen.  She is throwing up a lot, which is weird since she hasn' t been able to eat in several days.  She is in a lot of pain but one day at a time.  She has made it this far.

A big thank you goes out to the best chiropractor in the world.  David Free at Timpanogos Chiropractor made a trip to the hospital to adjust Michalla.  Her shoulder has been killing her for about a week.  No matter how many hours I rubbed it, it just wouldn't feel better.  I went into his office last week and asked him if there was anyway he could work on Michalla.  He doesn't have hospital rights at Primary Children's so he went to see her as a visitor on Saturday night and while he was there he adjusted her.  Sure enough, just like Michalla suspected, she had a rib out.  Her shoulder feels a million times better.  When I asked him about payment he said for Michalla to make him a plate of brownies when she got home. :)

Another tender mercy and the Lord watching out for Michalla through people here on this earth.
