Below is a picture of Kelptyn sporting his beads of courage, a collection that represents all the hurdles he had to overcome to get here. The beads will not be complete until he attains the most coveted bead of all, the purple heart=completion of treatment.
I got the call today about Kelptyn vs. Donor HLA test results. Kelptyn has surprised us all once again. Across all the HLA markers that they've selected to measure, Kelptyn is showing 100% donor!!!!!!! This is just amazing news and nothing short of miracle, especially since his donor was an "unrelated mismatch". They will repeat the test again around Day +60 to make sure he doesn't slide backwards. I am just beside myself in awe of the whole thing. What a gift, what a blessing.
