Day +55

Today was long and stressful but I am hoping will ultimately put us on a path to healing Georgia. With the line out and biopsies taken our nurse got a call that Georgia was on her way back to the room, she said she could hear her in the background crying mama.. mama. When she arrived she was none to happy with the addition to her right hand and arm - she was waiving it all around, biting at the board that her hand is on and was howling mad. We finally got her calmed down and she was able to sleep for a couple of hours. By this evening, resilient as ever she was waving and riding her lily pad one handed

Prior to her procedures I talked with the team about how awful the blood draws are and they are working to really limit them between now and when she gets her new line... hopefully only two will be needed. The preliminary findings from the gastrointerologist indicate mild GVHD in her esophagus although we'll have to wait for the pathology results to confirm anything.. likely Thursday. Perhaps this is the reason that Georgia continues to have a cough particularly following eating and taking meds... maybe this is why she doesn't want to eat more than a few bites at a sitting.. and maybe this is good reason not to do an NG tube - putting a tube in an already inflamed, irritated area would not be beneficial right? - you know me... wheels are always turning.
