Wow... still can't believe it all
Well where to start...
Kira was admitted to hospital on March 21st, went through the conditioning regimen until March 25th, doctors harvested the bone marrow from her brother early in the morning on March 26th and it was all in Kira by 4ish that afternoon.
Days +1 to +13 went well with her WBC counts starting to rise on day +10. By day +13 (easter day) she was up to .6 WBC and still had no infections and no signs of rejection so to our complete amazement she was released to come home!
We went in to clinic today for blood work and stayed for a RBC transfusion as she was very tired and her hemoglobin was only 73.
At the close of day +15 she is downstairs playing Wii with her brother...
We are in awe of the miracle we have just witnessed and know that challenges still lie ahead however we will deal with those as they come.
Thank you all for the support and my hopes and prayers are with you all as well!
