Hi Jen,
It's great to hear your little guy is doing well. The younger the child is in BMT, the better they seem to do as a general rule. My son Evan had his BMT 17 months ago and he engrafted on Day+26. That was a long wait and a very anxious time. All I could do was focus on keeping his isolated environment as germ-free as possible, at times even asking nurses to re-wash before entering as I hadn't seen them wash in the anteroom. I'm sure the nurses were irritated by me but with a child next door growing aspergillus, I had no problem being fussy. Just be very vigilant of who and what enters his room right now as he is very vulnerable.
Evan's Caringbridge site is below if you wish to refer to it at some point.
Best wishes for complete recovery for your son.
