Good morning, @leilab1. Thinking about you and your son today. I hope he’s continuing the steady up hill progress post transplant. Any news?

Good afternoon @loribmt .
I appreciate you're thinking of us and am thankful for your support!
My son's blood counts continue on an upward trend so we are encouraged by this.
There has been a new development: on Day +32 a Pelvic CT scan revealed Pancolitis of Alex's entire colon. He is now also dealing with a staph infection. This is concerning due to the fact that Alex's Grandfather was diagnosed with severe Ulcerative Colitis for which he now has an ileostomy. So the genetic predisposition is a present concern. My other concern is the yeast infection which has been ongoing for weeks. When Alex's Doctor mentioned the possibility of discharge as early as next week, I was taken aback. Why on earth would they release Alex with an ongoing infection?
