Post-transplant Day 46(10/31/06)

This is the first Halloween Charley enjoyed in the US. He has had leg, knee and lower back pains since last Saturday. Clinicians thought this might be caused by a long term usage of steroids. Nevertheless, he prepares himself for the exciting moment. He wore his favorite power ranger costume. Charley's parents brought him to knock the door of several neighbors. He realizes with a full expectation that he will act as a normal and healthy kid at the next Halloween. Charley developed a sharp pain in the midnight. A low dose oral morphine only relieved him for 40 minutes. We rushed to the emergency service at Children Hospital. Charley was miserable until the injected morphine began to work. Charley was scheduled to be admitted to Bone Marrow Transplant Unit tomorrow for diagnosis.
