GI Track Looks Beautiful!


Good news! David's GI track looks beautiful. I am a happy mommy! That's not to say he does not have gut GVHD, but just seeing his beautiful insides was encouraging. They took 12 biopsies, some of them are for intestinal viral PCRs. They will test the others for GVHD. We should get preliminary news on Monday or Tuesday. His cultures came back negative - more good news. The plan is, if he shows no GVHD and no positive intestinal cultures, the next culprit is the Cellcept (immunosuppressant). Then they will have to regroup and come up with an alternative to Cellcept. I'm glad we did the endoscopy. The whole proceudre (cleansing) was not that bad. Easy for me to say...I'm not the one undergoing the proceudre. Kids are so amazing!






We'll still be here until Sunday or Monday.
