Mike was brought back into Dana Farber on Wed.
He was doing fine and getting stronger until what is called host-graft disease showed it's ugly head.We knew going in there was a pretty fair chance of this happening.
Host-graft disease in when the new immune system that is given to the patient through bone marrow does not recognize the patients body and starts to attack it.
The liver and the intestines are the first to be attacked and can be fatal.

The doctors have tried to control the host-graft on an out-patient basis but it was not working.
So they have brought him in where they can try some treatments to control it.
Mike is pretty depressed right now and the rash is driving him crazy.
The rash is one of the afflictions of host-graft.
I will talk to him tomorrow to see how things are going and make updates.
Prayers are in order.
