+18 Days post transplant

By on

Generally speaking, this is the day where the bone marrow has found it's way to it's dedicated spot inside of the body. The new bone marrow begins to take over the work of the old marrow making his neutrophil count go up. Neutrophils are the first white blood cells to respond to an infection. 

This has not happened yet. We are still waiting. He is healthy. In good spirits and hopefully safe from infection. He is not allowed to leave the sixth floor and social distancing is at play for any visitors. 

They will be giving him a medicine today which helps his neutrophils get started moving. We will see what happens then.

Until then, thank God for Fortnite, a supportive family/friend network and an A plus care team.
