Day +97

The scope went very well this morning except that transport got here early and I was in the shower so I had to rush and take my make up bag with me to the OR. So Alicia went in to get the scope with make up also, since she always wants me to make up her face when she sees me doing it.

The scope only took about 45 minutes and the GI doctor came out and told me the best news that I have heard in almost 70 days. He said that with looking at the scope that the GVHD in her tummy is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes you read it right it is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said the Biopsy will tell it all. I am soooooooooooooooooooo happy. They will also test with the Biopsy for other virus's and things to try to determine where the tummy pain and poop is coming from, but we have defeated the hurdle of GVH in her tummy and man was that a HARD hurdle. I am sure there will be other reasons for her tummy pain but the Doctor said that will be able to be fixed with the right medicine as soo as the results come back tomorrow.

The GVH of her skin is a different hurdle. They are saying that it looks alot better but to me it still looks pretty bad. It is spreading down her legs and arms but her back and tummy do look alot better. It is still peeling but not half as bad a it was. So hopefully this means that the meds she is on are indeed working to fight the GVH and all of this may soon be over.

She has not had a fever in a few days and I think they are going to take off the Vancomycin tomorrow which is usually when she spikes another fever so please keep your fingers crossed that this will not happen.

Dr Davie's talked today about starting to do her 100 day work up but I am not sure when that will be yet. Hopefully if its is indeed the sign I needed that everything is being treated as it should be then we might see the light at the end of the tunnel again soon.
