Sam has been diagnosed with "Acute Graph Versus Host Disease."
GVH disease can range from mild to severe, and acute (temporary) or chronic (long term). It is too early to say which of these Sam has. Despite an array of other uncomfortable symptoms, thus far his liver & kidney function are normal, which is really good since organ damage can be a major complication of GVH. Am I supposed to say "it's going to be ok" right now? I'm sure, ultimately, it will. But right now I am just so sad for Sam. I want this to be better, and I want him to feel like himself again. And I guess I'm feeling fairly impatient about those two things. He is so down, and it has been so long since he has been able to enjoy anything. If you are praying or sending vibes or whatever you do, please ask that this be MILD AND TEMPORARY GVHD. Please ask that Sam can start eating & keep food down soon. Please give wisdom to doctors. Please give strength, determination, and hope to Sam's weary heart & body. Please ask that all these asks kick in right away, if that's possible? Thank you so much. Ready? Go!
