Logan had another checkup yesterday. His doctor feels like Logan has responded so well to the transplant that they are ready to start decreasing his anti-rejection medicine early. They will slowly taper the medicine over the next 12 weeks. If he has any autoimmune problems it will delay the process but as of right now he is schedule to be finished with the anti-rejection drug mid-March. Once his immune system is no longer being suppressed by the drug Logan can enjoy a more normal life. He won't be fully recovered for another year, but he will be able to go outside without a mask, attend school, and visit family.
Logan also had a bone marrow biopsy last week to check for leukemia. No cancer was found! I'm sure he will have several of these over his lifetime as a biopsy is the only definitive test to detect the leukemic cells, however his prognosis is very good for a full recovery.
Merry Christmas to me... a little early.
A Merry Christmas, indeed!!
