BMT Day 24

I can’t explain 1/4 of what goes on in one day though I wish I could. Being in the hospital is never boring, almost always nonstop, and different each day. (I record all of this for Ashtyn as well because I hope she doesn’t remember most of it.) She is doing another unique, unexplainable thing. While sleeping, she’ll stop breathing for no known reason but at the same time her mental status has improved so much. She doesn't have respiratory problems when awake and is very much alert. When she’s in a deep sleep, she stops breathing for several seconds and her oxygen monitor shows her saturation’s drop. A CT scan of her brain and lungs were done, which looked fine. She is not on any sedative or respiratory suppressive drugs whatsoever. At this point no one can make sense of it. She has to wear BiPAP when sleeping which gives her breaths when it detects she needs them. Her health has become so complicated. I will write more details when I can. I don’t suspect her health will improve until her marrow makes neutrophils. Please pray she will engrafted soon and in the meantime remain stable without requiring a breathing tube and dialysis.

That’s a lot of people just for Ashtyn
