Isaac Update

This whole process has been filled with ups and downs. We are thankful when the ups outweigh the downs. Yesterday, some of his blood numbers were up which is great but at the same his engraftment was down and his liver numbers were up which was not good. As it stands now, they will draw labs again tommorrow. If the liver numbers are still up then they will be doing a liver biopsy next week. He is already scheduled for surgery on Thursday. They will be removing his pheresis line and he will be having a bone marrow biopsy. The pheresis line is the one that they had to put in through his jugular vein. I am not sure how they get it out but hopefully they won't have to go back through that way.
