The Results Are In!

Previously, we shared a growing concern of something unknown making it's home in Clif's left lung.  

This past Tuesday and Wednesday, 15 bags of platelets over a 30 hour period of time were given to Clif.  He met the minimum requirement of 50 platelets to allow for the Needle Biopsy of the left lung.  This was done to allow his blood to coagulate & clot and prevent internal bleeding.  After receiving all those platelets, he got to 53.  The biopsy was performed and the results have returned.

Clif has something called Aspergillus, a fungus growing in the lung which is treatable and new meds are currently being administered.  

Yes, the transplant is delayed again but we are very ok with this, knowing we want his body in tip top condition moving forward to the next step. 

Depending on how quickly Clif's body responds to the treatment, will determine our next move toward stem cell transplant.  We will keep you posted!

No nausea and no fevers for the past few days, Praise God!

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, 

whose confidence is in him.”
