Great news for Alice.
The tests came back negative for GVH and CMV in her organs. Such a relief, we
can now focus on her shingles virus and CMV in her blood. She will receive a
steady dose of anti-viral medicine. The trade off will be that it will cause her
counts to go down. It will still be a difficult recovery but a more possible
recovery none the less. We will be here for at least a couple weeks, which puts
us here through Christmas. That part is a bummer for sure, but it still feels
better to know that the situation could have been worse. Her rash has been
progressing and her counts dropping, but that is to be expected for now. She
will probably need blood tomorrow. In terms of her recovery it has been
necessary to take a step back in order to move forward again.

What a relief! So glad it's not worse...but still praying that she can heal and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that there's no GVHD and no CMV in the organs. I hope they can get on top of the Shingles and blood CMV really quickly! And I hope Alice starts feeling better. What a sweet beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteWe hope she keeps GVH away for good!!! Poor girl hope she gets relief from the shingles too.
