Day 237 - Somewhat worse today · Mar 5, 07:13 PM by Dale
Hi Guys,
It’s Chris. Unfortunately things are worse today.
It’s complicated, and we will know more tomorrow. It seems the GvHD has lessoned but the possibility of CMV in the gut seems likely. They will take some tissue samples tomorrow to confirm, but the doc is starting the drugs for that now. CMV (Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection) is a serious virus and can have dire consequences. The steroids and anti-rejection meds compromise her system and her numbers are OK but not the best. This opens her up to infection. They start feeding her through an IV tube tonight and that presents problems as well. The IV food is a perfect breeding ground for various bugs but we have no choice at this point. She needs nutrition and she can’t keep anything down at this point. It’s a tough and very worrisome problem.
Bottom line, she needs your prayers more than ever. Hopefully we will have some more and better news tomorrow.
Thanks for all your love, support and prayers.
Chris
