It was an early morning in clinic but happy to say it was a short appointment :)
John is looking much better, all vital signs good and he is even beginning to consistently gain weight.
All counts also look good (red, white and platelets). His T cell level is also good at 374 at last test (normal range is between 400 and 500). Doctor believes this will continue to go up which is very exciting! John having T cells is a miracle and our hope and prayer is that they will continue to multiply to a normal human level. Another t cell level test was done today and we will find results tomorrow.
They have also been measuring John's B cell levels. John has never had these before. The last level in August still showed that he had none. We await to see if this will change.
John was due to come off the anti-rejection drugs today but that was delayed due to a suspected resurgence of Graft Versus Host disease (GVHD); John has a rash on his face. Please pray with us that this is not GVHD as that would complicate things.
Overall the future looks bright and we continue to see progress, albeit slow.
