C-Diff Positive (Day +213)

Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Alex is C-Diff Positive

What?
Wait, I thought C-Diff was a bad thing?
Why are you so happy about a bacterial infection in his colon?

I am happy, because the reason for his "intestinal trouble" is NOT due to GVHD, and after a 10 day course of antibiotics, he should be just fine.

If the issue had been GVHD (Graft Vs. Host Disease) related, the doctors would have ordered a "scope" of his digestive tract, and he would have been put on steroids, and possibly immune-suppressants again.

So, hip hip hooray - Alex has something that can be treated without backsliding on his treatment.

All is good today! Happy Friday the 13th to all of you!
