Day +1

Earthquake Tony is past for now.  The last fever was over 24 hours ago.  The fevers really took a bite out of his energy reserves.  There has been more nausea, but sleep is helping with that.  This evening, Tony is more energetic, lively and interested today.  He has been helping me get a computer program for sharing files between our phones and the laptop and he's helping me with this Blog. This is good!  For those of you sending emails, texts and calling, Tony is really only awake for 2-3 hours a day, right now.  So, I am reading him your messages but he is not replying to them right now.
Dominic and Jackie (our nephew and niece) are Rock Stars around here.  Apparently, the nurses have never had anyone make a paper chain to count down the fist 100 days after transplant and the nurses are WOWed!  In case you don't know what a paper chain is, you use it as a count down!  You take off one link each day to count down to your goal.  Dominic and Jackie decorated 100 links, connected them and mailed them to Uncle Tony.  (OK, Angela helped with a lot of it.)  Tony and I hung it in his hospital room, so he can look at it and every day we will take off a link and put it up in the room.  I took a picture for everyone to see.
