Day +65

Good and bad news today. The good news is that Max is feeling well and his steroid dose was lowered again. Also, his cyclosporine will no longer be given through IV, but orally and his blood pressure med will only be given at night. Also his white blood cells went back up to 4.1 and the rest of his counts are good too. This is all great. Here's the bad news - Max's engraftment went down to 97% this week. Scary. I've seen such patterns and I'm afraid that Max's engraftment will plummet and we will have a tough time getting it back. This sucks because I was just beginning to hope that we could get through this without any major complications and 100% engraftment.
