June 2011 Visit To UCSF TESTS

Abigail will have her central line removed sometime around july 14th. her blood engraftment came back at 100% donor. now they will check her bone marrow. she had a slight bloody nose this morning which worried me but i knew her blood counts were good so i had to say to myself she can get a bloody nose and still be healthy. i am going to worry about every cold and cough and bloody nose for a long time. we are going on 10 months and dr dvorak says it is a good sign she has made it this far. well goodnight all

sorry to everyone for the delay in updates. abigail is doing wonderful! june 2nd marked 9 months since her third transplant and she is still disease free. her blood work is awesome. we are in san francisco for her check up tomorrow, some IVIG. she is so close to being off isolation she can't wait! her 11th birthday is june 28th. so exciting, we can't believe how time flies. she has been going through all of this now for 3 years. strong girl, she has had to grow up the last 3 years in and out of hospitals. but we finally see a light at the end of a long tunnel. she is not completely out of the woods yet, but with every month that goes by i know for sure we will get there. thank you to everyone who prayed and supported us through it all. i will try not to make the updates so far apart, as i know everyone wants to know how she is doing.
