It’s not unusual to have those big drops in blood counts when in treatment. Particularly scary with those low platelet numbers…no knife juggling for a while! He’s pretty vulnerable to infections too at this point. You’ve already discovered that with his neutropenic fever. I went through that too. Sometimes that just happens with no obvious underlying cause. So extra precautions are needed to avoid exposure to viral, bacterial or fungal infections. I know it’s really disruptive but it’s keeping him safe and on track for a transplant.

The great thing about Rochester is that so much in that city is centered around the Clinic. There’s a lot of housing opportunities and most can be had within a couple week’s notice. So don’t fret about not knowing the dates yet. Generally you have a good month from the time a donor is found to when you have a firm date for transplant. This will all come together. 😉
