DOT +93

The doctors are still extremely pleased with all of Burns' counts! It is amazing what kind of results you can achieve just by removing a nasty spleen!! He is still struggling with some of the issues related to the surgery, but the doctors are not concerned. We have all been so impressed with the doctors and nurses at the hospital. It certainly makes it easier to leave at night knowing he is in such good care!

Thanks for your continued care and concern!

This is our blog to share the journey of a stem cell transplant between two brothers. Burns, who was diagnosed with CGD at age 2, and has been fighting the disease ever since. Burns needed at stem cell transplant in order to cure his illness. His older brother John, was recently tested by Dr. Rebecca Buckley, Burns' doctor since age two, and is a perfect stem cell donor match. With many prayers and advances in medicine, a bone marrow transplant is now an option for a "cure".

Here is where we begin our journey. Laura, Burns' wife, and Burns will be moving to Durham, January 1oth to be close to Duke. The blog will be updated by Laura, Burns, Derry (Burns & John Mom) John and Eliza (John's wife).
