Post-transplant Day 27 (10/12/2006)

Charley woke up extremely tired for two reasons: i) his body was working so hard in “manufacturing” blood cells and in “healing” the mucositis, and ii) having morphine withdrawal (according to Dr. Lehmann, Medical Director, Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Unit). Morphine did help Charley bear a lot of pain. However, as the first day of discontinuing morphine, Charley had nausea and vomiting. Musicians played with Charley with an electronic piano.

It began with teaching a Japanese kids song. Then, Charley loved playing piano with the pianist.

Charley loves his parents and prayed for mommy before going to sleep, “Dear Lord Jesus, please heal mommy so she won’t have headache when she wakes up”.
