Kelptyn's most recent test results are showing 2% donor cells on two different markers. We will move forward with the lymphocyte infusion in early July to see if it helps any of the residual donor cells stay their ground. Kelptyn continues to have his smiles, playing, and giggles despite a rough couple of days.
We brought Kelptyn to the hospital clinic for an unplanned visit on Wednesday after a rough couple of days full of vomiting, diarrhea, and an increasing rash. Kelptyn's been having trouble tolerating anything in his digestive tract and his breathing is a bit more labored. Kelptyn's doctor readmitted us to the hospital after some scans found some fluid on the lungs and in the heart cavity. We've seen a team of doctors over the past two days, Kelptyn's receiving diuretics every 6 hours to draw the fluid off and he had a rash biopsy yesterday. The biopsy results today showed some start of GVHD (Graft vs. Host Disease) which we will just treat with steroid cream for now. We still aren't completely sure at this point in time if there is a secondary blood issue developing post transplant, like TTP. We hope not.
