Quietly pale

Dale's skin tone is pale. He does not look nor feel well. He reports feeling just as bad during chemotherapy. Kidney stone probably still there, but the pain comes and goes. Is the stone moving? Will his system let itself heal? Is the pain really from the kidney stone? Dale quietly makes it through each day with hopes of improvement or stone movements. Which reminds me, diarrhea is apparently back. He has weakened and works at hydrating and eating to maintain what energy he has left.

My thoughts tend to make me think that bone marrow transplants are fragile and the body needs at least the 100 days to begin its progress back to adult system standards. Today is day 55.
