Spin the chair is a great game! We are still doing great and feeling great most of the time! They are giving him benadryl and Adavan for nausea and it seems to help mostly. He isn't really feeling like eating a lot so they have upped his IV nutrition - but this is normal. On day +1 and +3 they gave him some mini doses of a chemo drug that helps kill the lingering immune cells in his body which helps decrease the chances of Graft Versus Host disease (GVH - where the body fights the new marrow and cells). It is one of the reasons that he doesn't feel so great but he is still pretty happy. His new favorite show is Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakel. They gave him a blood and platelet transfusion also which helped him have some more energy and feel a little better. So far so good! Keep up the prayers and faith - it is helping a lot! We love and appreciate you!
