I got to speak with the doctor before the procedure. I asked if Thatcher has cmv and if this was considered a set back. She reassured me that this is actually expected this soon after transplant when the immune suppression is highest. They are treating him as if he has cmv even though there is only a small amount detected. He will have the line for 3 weeks - 2 weeks of the medication and 1 week just in case. They want to get 2 negative readings before removing the line. She even said this would not be something to prevent us from coming home, but I don't want to jinx anything!

Amazing and wonderful news. We miss you back here. That smile on Thatch's face gives me happy chill bumps, and I see little cubby wrinkles in his arms--great!
ReplyDeleteAmelia will be happy to have both her parents and her brother home, I know.
