MTX & BMT

Ava started on methotrexate (MTX), and I understand that things went really well. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the drug to do its thing and for Ava's body to clear it. Once it clears her system (and no other unexpected issues), she can go home.

Looking ahead, BMT is definitely in the picture. Though it's not an imminent decision at this point, it is something that needs to be actively prepared for, so Mike & Esther will need to start making some phone calls. I think they found two people that sort of match Ava (7 out 8 markers match; therefore no one is an identical or perfect match). It is desired to find a perfect match for Ava.

Thank you again for your prayers.
