This morning at 2:30am, Dianna went back to the Pediatric ICU...
She started to have blood in her stool Wednesday around dinner.
It just got worse during the evening.
About 1:30am, Dianna got up to potty then began passing a lot of blood and got sick at her stomach.
As the nurse and I tried to get her back in to her bed- she almost passed out- she went totally limp! :-(
Her doctor order a Platelet Transfusion and Blood Transfusion; then wanted her moved to the PICU.
He wanted to be sure the bleeding was under control and no other complications.
Thankfully- after the transfusions, Dianna did not have any more bleeding. (so far today)
Dianna was able to return to her room on the Transplant Floor today around 12:30pm.
Dianna is NOT happy because the doctors do not want her to eat till tomorrow- Friday around noon.
They want to be sure her gut is healed, if that is were the bleeding came from.
The Doctors do not believe that this was caused by Graft vs. Host Disease, but just more side effects from the chemo, steroids & cyclosporine.

Yucky, yuck, yuck. Chemo unfortunately knocks you down before you get it over with and can start feeling better. Holly & I often joke if this is the cure we are glad we didnt get to the really bad part of the disease! Can she suck on pedialyte pops? They will atleast let her have something in her mouth. :) Thinking of you both and praying for you several times a day. You are brave women and I'm happy I know you!! Hope you feel better soon Dianna. Love, Teresa Harvey
Hi Nanette and Dianna,
I am so sorry to hear about the bleeding that happened! We will definitely be praying that her gut heals heaps quickly. I am glad that it is not GVHD but it is not nice that it is a side effect. Nanette, I hope you are holding out ok. Thinking and praying for you as well. (((HUGS)))
