Numbers up means visits down!
Today was Matthew ‘s 1st clinic visit since being released from the Bone Marrow Transplant unit on Saturday.
(video of Matthew being released on Oct 1st)
All his blood work is looking great and they think that this coming Friday will be his LAST CLINIC VISIT with the BMT unit before being transferred back to the oncology clinic and Dr Foster and Peg.
To God be ALL the glory!!!
Even being a autologous donor, getting his own Stem Cells back, this is amazing the doctors!
His restored, rebuilt marrow is gearing up to being close to normal even though it still hasn’t been a full 4 weeks since we went in to start the transplant process. AND … it has only been 21 days since Day ZERO.
Can you imagine the smile on Matthew’s face! 😀
We still need to be vigilant and clean, and he’s not ready to go hang with crowds just yet and getting sick would not be helpful. They even guard a patient with these miraculous results closely for a few months. But all we could say was THANK YOU LORD!!!
MORE GOOD NEWS …
His PICC line, which they leave in for drawing blood for labs and giving transfusuons, should come out on Friday!!!
They actually just snip a few suechers, slowly pull it out, and put a bandaid on it! WOW!!!
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. We still need them as the next step will be targeted radiation and then maintenance meds.
