Engraftment!!
We received news today that the engraftment test returned with great news -- 100% engraftment! That means the marrow is all donor marrow. The medical team will continue to monitor for graft versus host disease. Since engraftment happened in this percentage and this early, the likelihood of quicker recovery exists than it does for patients with less donor marrow. The path to recovery continues, but this is a huge accomplishment and the news for which we have been waiting!
