Good news on the donor!

They've completed the high-resolution HLA-typing on the potential donor, and he's a match! Or in more detailed terms, he's a 9/10 match with a mismatch at the B antigen. They've asked for a transplant date of 4/12 and are waiting to hear back whether that date would be acceptable. Keri and I are wondering whether Mina Brigitta will have recovered from this round of chemo yet; if last year is any guide, she might need another week. It's also not yet clear to me whether the donor has passed all the medical tests. I presume he's agreed to do it, because I think they needed another blood sample to complete the typing.

Mina Brigitta is still enjoying being home, even though she was a bit tired today because she's still been waking up in the middle of the night. Dadda spent an hour or so sitting with her in the chair. They went for a walk in Marin and had lunch at an outdoor cafe. Mina scarfed a whole helping of salmon and avocado. Auntie leaves tomorrow night, so that will be a drag, and then we go back into the hospital on Thursday. Thankfully there are no tests scheduled this week, but we may have to repeat some because the transplant was delayed.
