Tim is not responding to the steroids as well as they would like. The doctors have started him on a new immunosuppressant. They have also confirmed the GVH in his digestive system. They have put him on IV nutrition for the next few days. This will give his digestive system a rest and allow the new medication to work. It is my understanding that he won't be sent home until he is back on solid food.
We are in the process of setting up physical and occupational therapy for Tim once he goes home. This last week of steroids has been very hard on him physically. His muscle strength has decreased dramatically.
