The question is ............. Is this engraftment or an infection???
After several episodes of chills and spikes in his temperature Steve landed in the University of Utah Hospital. Apparently statistics show that 80% are hospitalized during this treatment - the other 20% of course was our goal.
Love that this is an outpatient program - Steve is a huge fan and like any sane individual avoids hospitalization like the plague.
We are hopeful this will be a very short stay as his lab work and vital signs are encouraging looking more like the engraftment process. See Steve's post on January 10th for a tutorial about engraftment if you missed it.
I want to give a heartfelt thanks to all who have included us in your prayers, it is appreciated greatly and means so much. We are sustained by your kindness shown in many ways - calls, cards, books, emails, text messages, quilts, sitters, soups, kitchen repair with a smile, breads, drawings from the grand kids, the hats, visits, comments on the blog - the snow removal service - so glad you got a break recently - we know some amazingly nice people! Will post when Steve is given the green light for visitors.
