Post Stem Cell Transplant: Day +31

Some of the test results from Tami's bone marrow biopsy are back and her marrow is now 99% donor marrow! This is really fantastic news. Her Doctor said that he expects it will be 100% the next time they do a marrow biopsy.

Tami does need to up her hydration. Each day she receives fluids: saline in the mornings and magnesium hydration through her catheter at night. It was 1 liter per day before, I don't know what the new amount will be but I'll let you know when I find out.

The temperature the past few days have been hot, still in the 90's. Not a typical summer in Seattle.

  1. So glad to hear she's doing well and her donor cells are taking over. :) Hope they get her hydration levels up. Rooting she continues to do well. :)

  2. This is fantastic news. Congratulations Tami!!! I must say, I'm a little jealous, but not complaining. HOW DID YOU DO THAT? I'm three years post-transplant and my white count and platelets haven't ever reached normal range. I'm so happy for you. Continue to be careful in public and when you have visitors! Take Care!!
