Hi livoight:
Thank you for sharing your experiences and thought. After Emily was discharged from the hospital in January, she has been getting about 4 hours/week home teaching from the school district. Her doctor told us that she should be able to go to the summer school in June if no infections or other complications happen. How many months out of BMT did Danica return to school? I will be very nervous to send her back to school when Emily won't have a normal immune system. We were told by her doctor that it will take a long time for BMT patient to rebuild a normal immune system. Because of the twin situation, it will be devastating to hold Emily back for her school.
This week, her white blood count is 4.3 and her hemoglobin is 10.2 and her red blood count is 3.2 and platelet count is 220. She has been making slow progress recently. So far Emily looks and feels good it is hard to remember that something as simple as a virus could set her back. She had very bumpy recovery road: just after 20 day’s her BMT, she caught fungal infection in her lung which almost took her away from us.
