Good news and bad news

The good news is, Mina Brigitta devoured two bowls of rice and plain yogurt tonight, and appears to be keeping it down. The doctors decided to hold off on the NG feeding tube until tomorrow to see how she's doing. She did have some fevers today, but she was feeling quite chipper after a little Tylenol tonight.

The bad news is that we learned today Isaac is not a match for the bone marrow transplant. There is a very small chance that Keri or I could be a match, but it looks like we'll have to hope for an unrelated donor. We meet with the team tomorrow to discuss the options. The preliminary info we've been given is that there's something like a 50-50 chance that a matched donor will be found. I'll have more info tomorrow after we meet with the team, but at the very least this likely means a delay in the transplant.
