Graft vs. Host Disease

They have confirmed Mark is fighting graft vs. host disease. A little is good, but too much can be life threatening. Many remedies have been tried and so far nothing has made an impact. Mark has become very weak and tired. He has had many transfusions, and platelets. Yesterday they put his blood through a machine to be cleaned. Today they are starting a new treatment, Thymoglobulin, that is made from rabbit serum. We hope this will help Mark to begin feeling better soon. Recent initial bone marrow test results look good. We are still waiting on the rest of the results. Thank you for your prayers! Please keep them coming!
