Day +31

Its day +31 of the transplant today. This means that she is now in the 3rd stage of the bone marrow transplant which is the post engraftment period. This stage is until day +100.

In this 3rd stage,  it is about protecting from infection and praying that there won't be any signs of GVHD. And of couse that the marrow will continue to engraft well.

So far, the engraftment has been progressing well alhamdulillah, albeit some yoyo  effect. But doctor seems fine with it, and told us to be patient while it stabilized. Hana had 4 days of no platlet transfusion, until yesterday when it dropped to 9 again. Well, at least it didn't dropped as drastically as when  she was on daily transfusion. Am still hoping that yesterday will be the last transfusion that she'll ever need.

Doctor is targeting to discharge her on Wednesday, 2 days away and 2 days before her 1st birthday. However, I think that we would like to have her platlet stabilized first before we really go home.

Time moves faster now, unlike the first 2 weeks of the transplant when time seems to just crawl.

Alhamdulillah that we can already talk about going back.
