update on my dad

My dad isnt doing too great, he has a bad case of mucusitis which is causing him extreme chest and throat pain. He hasnt been able to swallow anything by mouth. He has been bed ridden for the past 4 days and is completely weak and tired.

Today is day +21 of his second transplant and his blood counts havent moved at all. I'm starting to give up hope at this point.

I've read that HaploIdentical transplants can take longer than normal for the cells to graft. Can anyone shed some light on that? I feel like at day 21 his blood counts should show some improvement.

Thanks
