Abigail just before 2008 diagnosis

•  Here is the update, Abbi's ANC is 470 reaching 500 hopefully by tomorrow. they have stopped the prograf, the med that was preventing , to hopefully trigger GVHD. she is doing good. ready to get a break from this hospital, like i have said depending on the severity of the graft vs host disease she could be readmitted. or be treated outpatient but stay close to hospital. if she doesn't get the GVHD soon, probably a few weeks, they will give her a big donor lymphocyte infusion. all prayers to be for her getting GVHD and no leukemia cells in her bone marrow biopsy. i read a story last night about a child who had myelodysplastic syndrome like Abbi, and his turned to AML within days of diagnosis. he had a couple rounds of chemo and a bone marrow transplant from his sister, that was in 1999, he developed GVHD and went into remission, the moms last post was in 2004 and he was still cleared of disease, just more reassurance that this is possible. i will let you all know when she is discharged.
