Well as you can see from these photos Brody has improved so much this last week, he has now started to get out of bed and play on a mat the phyiso gave us. As the doctors want him to get more exercise now. Also Brody has improved so much with letting the lady take his blood, as i don't have to hold him down anymore. Although he always has a delayed effect and cries after it.
The doctors also want him to drink more, which we will be working on but he is eating alot more now, as he ate 2 slices of pizza today that he made himself, thanks to Grandma's portable oven. Has food safety is a major issue with Transplant patients. There is so many foods he can and cant have and the way they have to be cooked and etc.
Had a meeting with the doctor's today, they are please with him, The GVHD can flare back up and come back, if it dose he will be on steroids for a longer period of time. So have to keep a watch off it.
They also said in the next couple of weeks they will be slowly taken him off all the intravenous medications and put him on oral meds. There are also some more complications that can happen such as infections and the GVHD, but everything goes to plan we might get out of here before we expected. But Brody will still have to be in isolation at GRandma's for 6 months, as infections can cause alot of problems.
Also asked them about school for next year, but they wont knew for a few more months yet when he could start as if his immune system isn't right it will take longer to go back, so it could be the start of the year or the middle of the year. Bum!! I will have to make sure i have a few options up my sleeve.
