I've heard bone marrow transplants are pretty nasty. Good to hear everything's stable.

Okay got a text a few minutes ago "Yesterday morning was really bad. But better now transplant is done. Things are stable."

RT, I just found this thread, and prayers are sent. I have a niece who had her transplant about a year ago. These kids are amazing. She just celebrated her 16th birthday last week. PM on your way.

Thanks people here is the latest update I got,

Thursday was a very difficult.and serious day. He had septic shock in the morning. They had the "crash cart" outside of his room! Luckily they didn't need it. He was stable in intensive care and got his new bone marrow that evening. Since then he's a little better each day.
Hopefully he'll be out of the hospital in a few weeks and headed toward recovery.

Prayers for a rapid and comfortable as possible recovery.
God bless him.

Okay people got this update:
Ed is hanging in there. Feeling a little better each day. He will be in the hospital for awhile. He is still in isolation. So we have to wear masks and gloves all the time that we are in the room (even to sleep). Last night he and I watched a movie and had some good laughs. He sat in a chair during the movie (which is excellent for him). And he finally ate a little bit.

Obviously there are many hurtles to come. Many of them will be unpredictable. But so far so good.

Great news. I'm glad he's feeling better.
