What we can expect just after the transplant

Hi All - Naoise Dad here. A couple of people have asked what we can expect after the transplant so here is what we are focused on at this stage. As Naoise mentioned her transplant will occur tomorrow, for the next 14+ days Naoise will continue to be very sick and will not notice too much of a difference. Slowly, the new bone marrow will begin to take and Naoise should begin to notice some small changes. 22 days post transplant Naoise will be tested to see if the transplant has been successful. We will remain in the hospital for approximately another 5 to 6 weeks and if all goes well we will then move to the half way house for further recuperation.
