Another Long Clinic Day (Transplant Day +166)

Mia had a good, but long appointment today! All of her counts looked great. Her weight is down 1 pound from 2 weeks ago, but that's expected being her appetite and taste buds have not returned yet from treatment. Today she received 2 infusions again, IVIG (immunoglobulin G) and Pentamidine (prevents pneumonia). It was a long day, but she did great! She vomited right before they left, but hopefully it's a reaction from one of the meds she got today.

Her body is still covered with GVHD rash and is being treated with a steroid cream daily. Her body basically feels like sand paper.

She will be back again in 2 weeks for her bone marrow biopsy! On February 6th, they will check 3 different cell lines in her marrow and blood, myeloid, total, and t-cell. We are praying for 100% donor on all 3 cell lines. They will also be checking for any leukemia cells.

Please keep prayers and positive thoughts coming as this will be a big milestone if things look good! Thank you!

5 Months Post Transplant (Transplant Day +152)

Mia had a good appointment today! All of her labs looked great, along with her weight even though she hasn't been eating much the past few days. Her blood engraftment was drawn again and now we wait the week for the results. She will go back in 2 weeks for her immunity and pneumonia prevention infusion. Besides some skin issues, everything is stable.

We are 5 months post transplant! 4 more weeks until her biopsy. Keep the prayers coming! Thank you!
