Skin Issues (Transplant Day +9)

Mia has been very irritable all day! She has been spiking fevers since 5am this morning! Again, this is normal after transplant. Her body is working hard and showing signs of Engraftment. After a bone marrow transplant, the new cells will start to grow and make new blood cells. This is called engraftment. Mia had a white blood count of .2 today so that's exciting! She is having major skin issues too as a result. When her white blood cells start returning, all of the areas on her body that had tape on it start to try and heal. Unfortunately, her skin issues will get worse before they get better. It's been a day of movies and shows!

Thank goodness for dolly!

The power of prayer is amazing! Keep the prayers coming, Go Team Mia!

Transplant Day +9
