T - Minus - 2 Count Down To Transplant

Today was not a good day either. I had 2 reactions to my treatment. The first was extreme soreness in the buttocks and hips down to the calves. So they had to stop for awhile and give me more Benadryl. The second reaction came later towards the end of the infusion of Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG). My temp started to rise and it went up to 102.7. Some more trusty hydrocortisone and 5 hours later things were back to normal. (I'm going to have to rethink that word normal.) Appetite is still gone. And I also tested positive for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). That means another level of isolation. Tomorrow I have a repeat of the ATG. Oh joy!
