Haplo for AML with FLT3

Hi, I am new here. My 18yr old son just had a haplo transplant for AML M2 with FLT3-ITD-TKD and NPM1 with normal cytogenetics. He did go into transplant in remission. He did not have a mini transplant. They did a full myeloablative regimen using Busulfan, Fludarabine and Cytoxan before transplant, plus 2 more doses of Cytoxan on day +3 and 4. His Dad was the donor as I had too many antibodies. They took marrow from my husband but had issues getting what they wanted. Due to a differing blood type and processing of the marrow, they ended up with 1/2 of the amount they were hoping to give my son. Add to that, the concentration of stem cells was low. They don't know if he will engraft. They are prepared to do a 2nd harvest should he have graft failure. Due to the FLT3 mutation, they want to put my son on Vidaza at some point to help reduce his risk of relapse.

We are taking it day by day.
