I forgot to post this in July:
So it was confirmed today that she has Graft vs. Host Disease - GVHD: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graft-versus-host_disease); meaning that her body is fighting against Charlene’s grafted stem cells.
They are treating her with steroids and antibiotics and a limited graft vs. host diet (http://www.health.qld.gov.au/nutrition/resources/oncol_gvhd.PDF) which is mostly liquids, low fat and bland foods.
She will be in the hospital for about a week while they combat the GVHD. She is again in the Kohler Pavilion; floor 14 room 11. Come on by and have a visit. Remember to not come if you have been sick. You will need to gown and glove up (no mask is required this time).
If you would like more information on how she is doing, please call or text her at 503-341-3498 or email her at jmphilips503@hotmail.com. Or again, come up and see her.
