The bone marrow aspiration is postponed again today. Ryan has about 400 CC's of free fluid floating around in his tummy so he has a giant 59 cm belly right now. They didn't want to put him under anesthesia with the pressure from the fluid so we are trying multiple doses of diuretics to try to flush the fluids out. This is all very normal after the strength of the chemo he received He is also having some issues making his own platelets so it is looking like we will be inpatient for another week until his appetite improves and he doesn't need to get platelets everyday. We have been so fortunate to have such great medical staff to explain it all and make us a part of their decisions. We should know later today or tomorrow if he is 100% donor cells from a blood sample they had taken on Friday. Our Oncologist is very confident that he is all donor cells but wants to verify that he has shedded his KRAS mutation which can cause future problems. Well looks like I have a minute to nap so I will try to update again tomorrow!
Ryan is 100% donor cells!!!!!!!!! Now they just need to verify with the aspiration that he no longer has the KRAS mutation. Still a long road ahead of us but the good news is always welcome.
