I can't post any pics as I'm using the computer at RMH. Internet is not working at the Sick Kids Hospital. Just to let you know that I am so encouraged by the numbers. Very good news!
Mr. T's white blood cells (WBC) are 0.7 today. Yesterday they were 0.4.......and also we are finally seeing some Neutropolys........Yahoo! Today they are 0.18...........which means that he is in the process of engraftment.
As soon as he has 0.5 neutropolys,...we can go to a step-down room!
The only thing we have to worry about right now.......is GVH disease. When his white blood cells come up.......we want to have some Graft versus Host but not too much of it...as this can cause serious problems.
They will keep a very close eye on Mr. T over the next several weeks. Too much Graft versus host can result in liver damage. This is when the blood donor cells attack his system and can result in organ failure or he can easily end up in ICU.
I truly hope that my Mr. T can sail through the GVH as he has so many other things.
Day Plus 28 they will do a test to determine what percentage of bone marrow donor he has....hopefully it will be 100% donor and none of his!

Glad things are appearing sunnier! Have a good weekend. We are praying strong!
Mr. T, you are a tough bird! And, your Granny is pretty tough, too! Things are looking up, we are thankful.
