Aaron was diagnosed with graft vs host disease yesterday. He has a red raised rash over his entire body. They doubled his steroid dose to help. Aaron became combative again and was hard to control. He started talking again yesterday, but still won't get out of bed. He hasn't walked in over a week. This has been a hard week. I am terrified of GVH; it ranges from mild to deadly. However, the doctors say some GVH is a good thing. It means that his transplant is working.
I am so thankful Marsha has come into my life. She had a transplant several years ago and she is able to provide a calm that no one else can. She is living proof that there is normalcy in our future. Thank you!

Thank you sooooo much Chandelle, for allowing me to share in this with you and provide you with a little hope. I know how scary it must be for you - I am a grown adult, and watched the fear in my parents eyes as they were there with me every day. You have a strength that amazes me. Please let me know any time if there is ever anything that you need! My prayers are with you and your family.
