Update

Hello everyone....things have been very busy since we have been home. James is very happy to be home. He has a really bad rash that covers 80%of his body. It is a graft vs. host rash. To explain it in a way that we all can understand....his one med tacro is used to prevent graft rejection and it needs to be at a therapeutic level in order for it to be successful. James' fell pretty low for over a week so his body started reacting to the donors cells and caused this crazy rash. He isn't complaining or itching too much which makes it easier but it is very hard to look at. They are changing the levels of his meds to try to get this under control. The GREAT news is that he reached another milestone...they took a blood sample from James and it told them how much was James and how much was the donor. Surprisingly James is at100% donor which made the doctors VERY happy. They said it is early to see this and they are really happy to see how well he is doing. Graft has taken and is WORKING!!!!!!! Amazing news. We wanted to give you all a quick update to share our great news. We will continue to post sorry it has taken a while...just trying to get back into the hang of things at home with meds and IVs. Continue to pray for James and for this graft vs. host disease rash to go away quickly. We thank you all for following James' story. BELIEVE!!! Dan, Sam, and James
