Hi Jen, That is great news about the white cells and anc! I don't blame you one bit for asking for the counts every day, that's why you're there and I thinks it's kind of silly for a doctor to hold out on such news. Every parent in that ward is living for counts as proof their child is recovering.
Did Ethan get methotrexate for GVH prevention on days 1, 3, 6 and 11 post BMT? And is he on cyclosporin IV or another immunosuppressant? Hopefully the rash he has is not GVH but they'll need to keep an eye on it.
Have his fevers subsided?
Can't wait to see the counts climb!!
