Haploidentical Transplant

Hi! I am new here and my father had MDS (high risk) and was treated with vidaza which brought him into remission. Being that he is 71 (and in good health otherwise) his options were to stay on vidaza until it quit working or a bone marrow transplant. He decided to go with the transplant because if/when the vidaza stopped working at some point he may then be too old for a transplant. He has a wonderful transplant team at Duke. No matches could be found worldwide for him, so my sister was his donor, who was a half match and he got his transplant on Jan. 13. Today is day +16 and still no engraftment. I was just wondering if anyone else had done a haplo transplant and how long it took to engraft? They did an actual bone marrow harvest rather than blood stem cells so I was wondering if that made a difference in how long it takes?
