DAY PLUS 20 - AUG. 6, 2008


Today the WBC (white blood cells) are 0.3. That is very encouraging.
It's been 5 days now that Mr. T has spiked fevers...the tylenol seems to help.
Although he is very crabby....today he played one of his new games on his PS3 for half an hour.
As you can see the Shingles is mostly on the right side of his forehead and his right eye is swollen.
They continue to give him Gabapentin for the pain.
They tell me that on Day 28 they will do a blood test called Chimerisms to check the percentage of donor engraftment. At that time they hope to see 95-98% donor engraftment. This means that most of his cells will be from the donor. We wait patiently for his counts to come up.
