Great Donor News!
We are very excited to tell you that doctors have found 3 matches for Hayden’s Bone Marrow typing! One is a blood cord, and the other two are Marrow donors. The UW transplant team will do indepth testing to see which one matches the best. We were also told that one of the matches looks to actually go beyond the 8/8 matching factors, which we don’t quite understand yet.
I can’t help but wonder who the donor is that will potentially “save” our son’s life. That information we might never know as it is confidential. Either way we are so grateful to this donor!
We also are still trying to figure out this dark stool thing, no blood was detected in the stool we tested, so we can’t help but wonder if it is his baby food that is changing the color. Sorry to speak of stools, but this is very important in determining whether he is bleeding internally or not.
