Hi @caretakermom 😊
Yes, unfortunately I am currently dealing with a double whammy....covid and BK virus!
I am soooo grateful for the covid monoclonal antibodies infusion. It made a MAJOR difference in 24 hours. I started out very scared that my deep congested cough was going to end up with pneumonia and after the infusion I knew I was going to be okay. It's a miracle drug . If hubby or you ever need it, don't hesitate to ask for it.
Regarding my BK, I will keep you posted on my latest labs when I get them. I am curious to see if covid derailed my BK progress or if I am continuing to decline in BK viral load.
Please keep me posted when you get hubby's WBC work back! Transplant will figure this out...to them it's just another day in the park. To us, it's OMG!!! ❤

Hi @hello1234, the MA was able to pull some of the lab results collected on 10/24 at Quest. WBC shows good improvement, went from 1.0 to 1.8. So the nurse is going to talk to provider to see if they want to change anything re medication. They are now saying hubby can go in for dental work when WBC is between 2 and 3. I'm hoping his WBC will continue to improve in the next week and a half. I've rescheduled his dental appointment to next Friday!
Our nurse told us to write stat on the standing lab order so that labs will be available sooner in the future.
It's good that monoclonal antibodies were available when you had Covid. It's not easy to find them in our area. I hope your BK load continues to improve. Keep me posted and thank you for all your inputs.
