堅持信靠的Brian's Blog

Dear Prayer warriors.

Brian's 2 rounds of chemo therapy was done. Today is after chemo day25. His blood counts are still lowest since chemo day12.
They checked his blood iron and found out his iron level was too high because too many blood transfusion.

Last night, they checked with MRI to make sure there is no iron staying in any organ. If no, it will easier to deal , otherwise it will have difficulty for next transplant. Please pray for no iron stay in any of his3 organs when they read the MRI report.

It takes 1 to 2 weeks to get the result
Also, he got fever at 4am. this morning (39.3c) after they do the MRI last night.
They drew the blood to see what caused the fever.
Pray for no fever and they know how to treat the infection somewhere.

Next step. The goal now is waiting for his counts to recover. They predict it will come up in this week.
If up to ANC 500, they will let us go home rest for a week and then go to next transplant. This time they will draw Vivian's stem cells for transplant. They hope Vivian's stem cell have more immune cells to kill leukemia cell ( if there are any left over show up).
We need your constantly prayer for this very critical procedure.

Our primary oncologist Dr. Gaynon also arrange 2nd opinion at City of hope to see what kind of transplant they will suggest.
Please pray for us to make the best and right choice that is from God.
Thank you very much.
