So now he currently has 8 less teeth, 3 less meds (all his medication schedule actually fits on to one sheet of paper :), and his bleeding is much more controlled. Most importantly he is very happy and eating much better. Oh and what has he gained lately in exchange for losing his teeth…..drumroll….his neutrophils are populating again. Yes, his last ANC report demonstrated normal levels. Hmm, I guess those gums/teeth really were a source of infection for him. We are moving forward with our eyes wide open as usual and hopeful that his doctor will clear him to return to school when we visit next.
Note: This week's chimerism: Mcells 1%, Tcells 22%. (I wish it could tell us his osteoclast function).
