Days 5 & 6

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that Kalan was admitted to the hospital (University of Washington Medical Center) last night because of a low grade fever. The fever has subsided as of today and he's doing OK. They're continuing to monitor him very closely and we'll most likely be here until his blood counts begin to recover (about 1 week). He is able to receive all of his meds and additional pain meds through an IV which is much easier on his very sore mouth and throat (a very common side effect of the chemo). Most transplant patients end up in the hospital at some time during their transplant process so we are right where we need to be. Thank you all for your amazing support through this time.
