December 10th, 2010 from Candice, Abigail's Mom

Even though I reported Abigail is 100% donor i asked the doctors if they could give her more cells anyway to be sure her cancer cells are gone. It was decided with some convincing that they will give Abbi more cells. We will be risking again graft versus host disease, but that is a risk we are all willing to take. they will keep giving her donor lymphocyte infusions until her immune system is strong enough to fight remaining cancer cells on its own. they have a request in to the donor for more cells. this time they only have to take blood because it will contain the lymphocytes, and hopefully give it straight to Abbi. Doctors have to check her blood type because now Abbi has a whole different immune system and new marrow, so being all donor cells she should have converted to the donors blood type, which they think is A- negative. they have to check this because if for some reason she is not converted they have to deplete the red blood cells which loses some of the lymphocytes. but we are confident she will be the donors blood type now. she is doing well and very energetic. she just got just dance 2 on the Wii from grandma Kate so she has been dancing. 

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone.
