First tests back OK

Another week down and nearly 80 days post transplant now. We're finally getting some lab results back, and the initial ones are good. Only donor (Emily's) cells were found in a sample of Abigail's bone marrow taken a few weeks after transplant. This is good news as it confirms proper engraftment, but more importantly that the engraftment is based on her new cells rather than her old, potentially still cancerous ones. A similar test is underway on a more recent sample, with results expected soon.

A little bit of excitement this week too, with her central line cracking. Luckily the hospital could repair it with a fancy version of a bike puncture repair kit, and no overnight stays were required. No temperatures or the like followed so it seems that the access point wasn't compromised. Unfortunately both girls have a bit of a runny noise at the moment, but neither have spiked a temperature. We'll keep monitoring things, but as you can see both girls remain themselves despite whatever the bug it is. Hopefully it is something minor that will clear up on its own without further intervention.

So, we'll let you know when more tests come back, but for now everything is as we would hope.
