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.

Does this ever happen to anyone else?
I make it a point to read a few verses of Quran daily, and many times, the verses answered/discussed the same topic that was playing in my head.
It happen to me a few times but didn't think much of it. But today, just stunned me.
Last night and early this morning, I had replied to a post by my friend, who is a Christian and we end up discussing a bit on the Bible and the Quran.
Just now, I was reading surah Al-'Ankabut and I got to these 2 verses:
Quran 29:46 - And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in the best manner possible, except those who do wrong among them. And say, "We believe in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to you; and our God and your God is One; and to Him we are submissive."
Quran 29:47 - Likewise, We revealed to you the Scripture. Those to whom We gave the Scripture believe in it, and some of these believe in it. None renounce Our communications except the disbelievers.
Subhanallah.
