Day +27

Ellen has gradually improved over the past few days. Her white blood cell counts, which represent her ability to fight infections, have been steadily increasing. Her temperatures are lower as are her infection markers and abnormal liver functions. She had a CT scan on Monday which looks clear. In short, she is getting clinically better and this is a promising sign of engraftment of the new bone marrow cells. In herself she is a bit brighter which is great to see. We hope all this means she has finally turned a corner and we are making slow progress.
