Day 28
We went back to ACH today to have the Broviac removed and to have a bone marrow biopsy done. They will check the bone marrow to determine what percentage of it belongs to Jordan versus the donor. They will also be on the look out for leukemia cells.
Jordan did well in surgery today and the bone marrow draw was quick, which is always a good sign that it's not infected with disease.
She came out of surgery and was not weepy this time. I think it was different this time because she has had surgery at ACH before and knew what to expect in the recovery room, etc.
We say Danny Fernandez and his mom Mari today. Danny is also on day 28 post transplant and was going through the same surgery as Jordan. He seems to be doing well although they have not been discharged yet.

About Jordan
I was diagnosed with CML (Chronic Mylogenous Leukemia) on Feb 6, 2006. I had a bone marrow transplant on June 14, 2006. My donor was unrelated and to this day we do not know who he is and have not had a chance to thank him for his very selfless act of saving my life. We share this story in hopes it will help raise awareness about childhood cancer and the importance of becoming a bone marrow donor.
