T - Plus 21, Mar. 29

It's 3 weeks now since the transplant. During the night last night my blood clot came back so I am back on the heparin and probably will be for awhile now. Everything else is the same and so we keep going. They are gradually shifting me to oral magnesium to free me from the IV treatments. The Tacrolimus I'm on depletes the supply. This transition will allow me to move to a longer leash. Beginning next week they will start a series of 3 each of CT scan, PET scan, and bone marrow biopsy to monitor the progression of the transplant and how well it has grafted. That starts at about 30 days, the next mile stone.
