Well we ended up not starting the chemo yesterday. Clint's blast count has been hanging out at 2-3% the last few days which was not what anyone expected. When we saw the blasts in his blood when we came in on Sunday we all (docs included) expected them to shoot through the roof really fast because that is what they have always done in the past. Every day we have thought that they would be way up but so far they are just holding steady, which makes us wonder what is keeping them from getting out of control. We have decided to wait on the chemo for a bit and see what his counts do over the next few days. Hopefully we do have some GVL going on in there and it will continue to keep the leukemia at bay.
Clint's GVH seems to be getting a little better everyday. They still won't let him drink or eat anything until it completely stops, but we're hoping that at least by Sunday they will let him at least start having water and ice chips. But we'll see how things go. The rash is also seeming to be a little better. It seems to be breaking up a little and Clint says it's a little less itchy today. Yeah!
So for now we just continue taking it a day at a time. And keep praying for the best!
