Second Stem Cell Transplant!!

Hello Everyone!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!  We just wanted to give everyone an update on Sawyer’s treatment.  He is in the middle of his second stem cell transplant.  He did very well while he was home and was able to start his second transplant as scheduled on January 30th.  He received his cells one week later on February 6th.  We were told that this transplant would be more difficult than the last and it looks to be the case.  Even though his counts had recovered nicely prior to his admission his system was still weakened from the first transplant.  Currently he is experiencing regular fevers and nausea as well as a significant amount of pain in his mouth and throat as a result of the Mucositis that has developed.  He still has no ANC but, we are hopeful that his ANC and counts will recover soon which will help his symptoms.

Thank you all as always for your support.  Please continue to keep Sawyer and our family in your prayers and intentions.  Have a wonderful day!! We will keep updating with Sawyer’s progress. Thank you for reading!

Until Next Time,
​Jen, Jeremy, Sawyer, & Calvin
