Christmas morning excitement
December 21st, 2008 by Alec UstickeSaffy & Liam react to what Santa brought last year.
I like how Saffy reverts to infancy, and Liam faints at the end.
Saffy leaves hospital
November 22nd, 2008 by Alec UstickeSaffy update
November 20th, 2008 by Alec UstickeThe test results are good, and Saffy should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. The CT scan showed no evidence of PTLD, and the EBV blood test showed a large reduction in the viral load.
Saffy in Hospital
November 18th, 2008 by Alec UstickeUnfortunately, Saffy is back in the hospital. She got hit with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and was admitted on Friday. Outwardly she’s now doing very well, but we’re waiting for CT scan and lab results. The biggest fear is posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), a cancer caused by EBV. Depending on test results, she may need a biopsy.
She’ll be in the hospital at least a few more days to complete a course of antiviral IV medication. Hopefully the cancer is just a scare and won’t return and she’ll be home soon.
Saffy’s namesake
