Day 30

Today and tomorrow, Stan has many tests scheduled. He had a chest xray this morning. This afternoon he will have a bone marrow biopsy and a skin biopsy (the skin biopsy is because he has a rash----it may be 1) an allergic reaction to some of the drugs he is on OR 2) an allergic reaction of his donor OR 3) graft vs host disease) Luckily—these are all treatable in one way or another.
Tomorrow he will have a PETCT and a CAT scan.
All these tests have been scheduled since the transplant—they are all routine at 30 days after transplant.
He has to stay in the hospital until sometime next week and we hope to have all the test results by early next week.
He gets A LITTLE better each day—but this will be a long way for him to gain back what he has lost with him being so sick. Just eating a meal tires him out.
Baby steps seems the way to go!
