update on mouth...

tim had to go to hershey today for some bloodwork and they put him on an "anti-viral" medication for one month. his mouth has gotten worse with the ulcers and they have even started down his throat. his whole face and head hurts. we are hoping that this medicine helps in a hurry. (with what it costs he should be all better in a few hours).

we go and see the doctor in one week for his regular appt and to follow up on this situation. they are hoping that he is dealing with a major viral erruption...and not a GVH rejection issue, but only time will determine which it is. if he responds to this new medication then they will assume it was a viral thing, if not then we will start messing with his anti-rejection medicine levels.

pray that this gets resolved quickly. he has really been hit hard with this set-back, although we feel that it can be turned around in a couple of days. he probably hasn't been in this much pain throughout the whole transplant.

thanks for checking in

tim and tammy
