Bone marrow is CLEAN!!! nice and empty, no yucky cells~ YAY
Now we can decide what the next step will be. As soon as I have some more Info I will let ya'll know about it. Right now we are still doing what we have been doing these last 3 weeks since chemo finished....waiting for counts. We do think we have a reason for those super high temps and the rash he has. It seems the tests they did to look for viruses came back showing HHV-6 (I think that's right) anyway he was positive for that virus,,,it causes roseola!! Tomorrow we will get results for another viral test, that will tell us what the levels are for the HHV-6. I am glad we have an explanation..that could definitely be part of the problem with his counts not recovering.
Now we are waiting to hear what our next step is....and I am trying to convince Jed to shave his head. This is the 1st time I have not been able to talk him into it! He is shedding everywhere!
more info as I get it
Love J & K
Today was Our friend Thomas' Re-birthday! We hope the transplant went off without a hitch...good engraftment and quick recovery!
