Today was Transplant Day! Thank you to our Donor!!! Mia got some new presents to help her celebrate the day. The Chaplin blessed and prayed over the cells as I held them before they were infused. We were so fortunate to have 4 devices going at the same time. Nana, Pop pop, Grandma, Grandpa, Ryan, Logan, and Aunt Bridget were all part of the blessing! It was truly amazing! They literally took 2 huge syringes and manually pushed the cells through her line! It was very uneventful!
Mia started not feeling well today. She is having some mucositis and had a hard time swallowing earlier. Mucositis is the painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract, which is an adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiation. She had some pain medication and we may switch to a pain pump in a day or two as she will also feel pain from her bone marrow recovering.
It will take a week to 2 weeks for the donor cells to find where they are suppose to go and begin producing new cells.
The support we have received today is nothing short of a miracle! We feel incredibly blessed to have Team
Mia with us through this entire process! Please continue to pray that she has minimal side effects from the transplant! Thank you for all of your continued support and prayers! xoxo
