100% Engraftment

It’s official.  I am XY, well my blood is XY.  I took the chimeric test and it came back that 100% engraftment took place.  So please Bobby’s cells do your job and please let my body cooperate and let them do their job.  No signs as of right now of GVHD, which is great.  We are past the first 30 days, the real danger zone.  Not that I am out of danger yet, still a long way to go, but it’s a first step.  I still am getting a magnesium IV once a week which could take four to six hours.  At least I can do it at home and I don’t need to be in the hospital to do it.  Now if only it would warm up.  I am usually wearing three layers of clothing and still freezing.  The doctor said it’s completely normal, it just sucks.  I have resorted to drinking just warm water.  The only day I was comfortable was on the random 70+ degree day we had a week ago.
