Day 70

The doctors have now officially diagnosed John with acute graft versus host disease. The treatment began an hour after the diagnosis was made. He will be on a course of steroid which will calm the battle down that has caused John's sickness. He will then be tapered off them as his body grows stronger. I wish I could explain that better but I am not a doctor lol
It's been a tough 3 weeks but it's nice to think John may be home in a week.
We are unsure at this point how this set back will effect the overall success of the transplant. Only time will tell. For today we are pleased to have some news.
