Marrow Donation
Sandra and Ruth,
Thank you both so much for your information....I will be sharing this with my family members tomorrow. We have all been feeling so 'useless'...Aplastic Anemia is such a scary disease.
Gregg (my great nephew) had to have 5 units of platelets and a Red Blood transfusion this afternoon. Platelets had dropped to 8,000...Hemat. to 23. His latest pic line had to be removed yesterday...due to infection. Now we are waiting for word from Strong Memorial about possibly putting another port in. His veins are pretty 'shot' by now....
Thank you again for your time and information. Also, are either of you familiar with 'non matching' BMT's??? If Gregg's Bone Tap in October shows no improvement, the doctor will be going for a non matching BMT. This has us terrified...as no one is telling us how successful they have been.
Sincerely,
Kate
