A day late!
The results did not come in yesterday, OF COURSE!! That's what I get for getting my hopes up. Anyway, Brooke currently has 10% of Megan's cells. That is up from 4% last week! YEAH!! The MD said the engraftment may take longer than most because Brooke didn't get the normal chemo. Also her T cells were up to 200. That is up from 90 last week. Everything is heading in the right direction. Her tube feedings are being turned up slowly and her TPN is being turned down. Our goals: To get her on total tube feedings OR bottle/baby food (that might just be a dream right now :), she also needs to have the vomiting and diarrhea to stop, (it is slowing down) and she needs 500 "mature" T cells to be able to fight off infection. When all that happens we are closer to going home. Thanks for the prayers! We will get you more info, and pictures soon.
