BMT - Current Process

I posted a pic outlining where we are at with the process of Bella's Bone Marrow Transplant. Basically the search for a donor match has officially started as of yesterday! 

More Current Details:

-Bella's doing great, happy and feeling good.
-Lymph Node biopsy shows no Lymphoma! Good news, so no cancer issue.
-Lots of blood tests are still pending.
- Currently Doctors are doing Pre-Work up stuff and determining Bella's baselines before Consitioning treatment/different meds and BMT begins.
-We are happy on Unit 2 and when we go to the Oncology Unit 1 for her Chemo/BMT, that will be up to our Immunologist. For now we have to keep Bella's door closed at all times.
-She's on meds to help with a few things given her current immune system state ex Prendisone. 
-Her Gtube is workin great and she is doing very well with her oral Food Play Tasting with Purées, cookies, crackers,etc.

Because her current immune system can't fight bacteria and viruses like yours and mine, Bella is also on meds to help her system with that. So to fight the bacteria she had in her lungs from aspirating, virus she had since October, skin exema,etc.
