23/6/2009 - Sivan suffers from bowel infection. Fear of GVHD!

Infection in bowel is the reason for the intensive bleeding, but Doctors are not sure the cause for that. There is a good possibility that this is GVHD (Graff vs. host desease) which is a common situation in which the new bone marrow attacks the host body. In low level it is encouraged as it attacks the remains of Leukemia. But in sever mode it is very dangerous and can attack the skin, liver or bowel, which seems the case with Sivan.
In Hadassah Jerusalem hospital they have experimental treatment for that and in case needed, they might use it.

Agree with Kirsten.... I'm also checking Sivan website everyday whenever I have time, even in the office. I really pray and I also ask my friends to pray for her and ofcourse your family. I really look forward to seeing Sivan's Smile. It is the most beautiful thing ever seen.

Be strong Sivan, you gonna be fine, and you must get thru this battle soon.
