Madhavi,

I am so glad to hear that Mo has had 100% engraftment.  Transplant was definitely the best choice for him.  I hope that his hg increases with time.  Please let us know the results of the coombs test. 

Sending our best always,

Sharmin

We got the result for the genetic/chromosomal analysis this week and it shows 100% engraftment and all cells are from the new bone marrow.....His Hb is a little low-10.8 and so we will do a Coombs test next week.

Congratulations!!!!!

Since I follow more humans who have had a transplant I wanted to ask on how many meds little Mo is. And of they are IV or oral. My apologies for all those questions.

Dear all...............
We got the Coombs test result and it shows no problem.
The low Hb level is probably due to the fact that his donor Masumi is also a minor. This week the Hb is 10.9 (last week it was 10.8).
Dori, about the medicines....he is on 4 oral medicines at home and he will be given iv antiviral therapy on and off-the first time next week-ganciclovir twice in that day on out patient basis. At home he is on immunosuppresant(ciclosporin-the dose of which has been tapered since today and he will be on it for a year in all),anti hypertensive (amlodepin-till the bp is normalised), sulfomethoxazole (to prevent infection and he has to take it till 6 months of bmt) and ursodexycholic acid (for the liver which he will be on till 3 months of bmt)...Other than that there is calcium supplement but that was on previously as well.....
His serum ferritin will be checked after 3 months of bmt and then he will be chelated till the levels are normal.
If there is anything else anyone wants to ask, please feel free......I wish I had someone to ask such questions before went ahead for it.....especially from someone who has experienced it! No problems about answering them to the best of my ability.....
Love,
Madhavi
Love and luck to all...

Hey all...
Happy to be sharing this with you....
29th of this month is 3 months to the day of transplant....Now on Mohanish is only on 2 medicines! No more medication for his liver and blood pressure!
The doctor said that we can take him down for a walk when there are few people around...for about 10-15 mins....so Mo is thrilled about that!Less bondage!
Time has flown by and all is going well thanks to your love and supportl...
Madhavi
Love and luck to all...

Great news, Madhavi!

Time really flies and I am sure this 15 minutes walk will make Mohanish feel like he discovers life again!
I can also imagine your joy. Best wishes for your next steps to this extraordinary journey.

Lena.
