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!
