Well we went to University of Michigan. Everything looked pretty good but it looks like Tyler is getting some Graft verses host disease (GVHD). All his blood work up looked good, but inside of his mouth is some whitish bumps that we believe is GVHD. Tyler said he didn't realize it was there except he did feel that his mouth seemed dry.
Right now the doctor gave him some penicillin in case of infection (which they say can happen in liver etc.) and also he is back on Bactrim as long as his counts stay up. As long as his GVHD doesn't get carried away he should be ok. Right now we are on a watch and see how he does. If it starts getting bad he'll be put on steroids and increase his tacro (anti-rejection) and he will be back on stronger restrictions.
We go back on Monday the 25th unless things start getting bad. So far he feels ok.
This Monday he has an appointment with our local college about getting him in and maybe get him into a program with a lesser work load.I know it's going to be difficult getting into the swing of things again for him.
John has alot going on for him this week being I have a full work schedule. Tyler also needs a MRI on his knee for a bump that has been giving him some trouble and Ryan has been in therapy for his knee that he first injured back in the spring. And then the college appointment! CRAZY!!!
Well thanks everyone for checking in
