This is wonderful news to hear that Alex is finally seeing some improvement! 💕 Those first few weeks of transplant can feel so tenuous to all involved. I had a few of those moments too. Fortunately, our transplant teams have seen it all and ready for any contingency.
It’s really an encouraging sign that his fevers are now under 100; A good indication that his meds are working and his blood numbers are increasing. And if that isn’t reassuring enough, then seeing him texting friends for the first time in 2 weeks seals the deal! He should have steady progress ahead.
I bet you’ll have a much more restful sleep tonight. Thank you for the update and keep me (us) posted! Hugs!

The hospitals infectious disease department revealed that Alex's fevers are being caused by a fungal infection that took hold in his central line. Because the central line was contaminated, they had to remove it and install peripheral IVs. It's day plus 23 and has ANC is now at 260. The small upturn in his health has been a huge relief for both my husband and I. I know there will be good days and bad days but the upward trend in blood counts is tremendously encouraging. Thanks for your continued support and thank you for sharing your journey. 💞
