While people struggle with 'social distancing' and staying home for a few weeks, these measures are a matter of life and death for our little boy.
Everything was going according to plan. I was happily married, graduating from a medical residency, and beginning the third trimester of pregnancy with my first baby. My dream job would begin a few months after my baby was born. Life was picture perfect.In the third trimester, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. At 34 weeks, I noticed my baby stopped moving much, which I thought may be due to recently eliminating sugar from my diet for the diabetes.
Just before Jackson turned 10 months old, we temporarily moved 12 hours from home to a new state, to be near an expert transplant hospital.Jackson underwent intense chemotherapy to eradicate his faulty bone marrow and make room for the new cells. He received cord blood stem cells from an anonymous donor. We finally had hope for Jackson’s future. Little did we know about the complications we were about to face.
Miraculously, Jackson stopped requiring transfusions as his new bone marrow began making red blood cells and platelets. His white blood cells were also slowly being made. His doctors told us it would take at least one year before his immune system would recover to the point where he could leave the house or have visitors, but he was making great progress.
