No Leukemia 90 Days after Bone Marrow Transplant

We're grateful for the favorable result of the Bone Marrow Biopsy taken Monday that there is currently NO Leukemia.
They will probably do another Biopsy in another 60 days or so.

It was also good news that the Cells continue to be over 98% from the donor, my sister.

Since the weekly IVIG infusions terminated Monday, I hope to be able to extend the time for trips to the hospital to every 2 weeks and then to a monthly basis.

Thanks for remembering us.
Best wishes to You and Yours.

Wednesday, 9/5/07--Staying the Course

Believe that today is about Day 70 in the count down from the Blood Marrow Transplant date.

The Doctors use Day 90 on their time line to do another Blood Marrow Biopsy and a bench mark to discontinue the weekly IVIG infusions.

Day 100 is significant in the monitoring the possible Graft vs Host rejection syndrome.

So with each passing day, we're grateful that there are no serious complications,

There are still lots of restrictions and pre-cautions.
Seems like they have a reason for me not to be out in large crowds yet or do a lot of the projects I'd like to be doing around the house and yard.

The energy level is still not where I'd like it to be but they say it often takes 6 months to a year for full recovery.
Believe I'm gaining strength and endurance daily. :-)
