After our update yesterday, we have several other happenings to report. One of the tests that we have been waiting on prior to treatment was sent to the lab under that wrong code. The test was resent today. Unfortunately, it takes 10 days to receive results. Thus we cannot begin treatment quite yet.
On the flip side...Davis remained fever free for 24 hours and with the red blood, platelets and antibiotics on board, we came home. We will continue with the same regimen as the past month to hopefully keep him symptom free...and emotionally sound. Thank you again for all the treats, texts, books, games, dinners, and allowing the other kids to hang out at your homes etc. We are so blessed.
I am gratefully overwhelmed with all the love and support. After our report yesterday of no sibling bone marrow match, we had several offers to donate on his behalf. Believe me, as we sit here with all 7 of us with the same blood type, it is extremely difficult to watch random blood being infused. However, after diligently asking every specialist and transplant member, we cannot designate bone marrow or blood to be given to Davis. The process that is needed for transfusion takes time and is expensive, and they do not do it any more with family. Everyone can still donate to help the blood bank, however, it is not guaranteed to reach Davis. I would also say that if you can do so, a donation is a great service to those in need...those just like Davis.
