Update as of September 12, 2005.
The doctors assured us that Artem is now in remission. The biopsy of his bone marrow showed only 2% of blasts. Based on that, we restarted search for the donor at Stefan Morsch registry. After discussion with the transplantologists, E. Boychenko, the head of department, decided that Artem needs to receive FLAG chemotherapy this week in order to strengthen the remission. This is very risky, but according to the doctors, it is the only way for Artem to survive until the transplant. We would like to thank everybody for believing in Tema’s recovery and their continued support even during the time when the situation appeared hopeless.

Update as of January 30, 2006.
Tema's intestinal GVHD (graft versus host disease) worsened, and his blood pressure dropped. He was transferred into intensive care unit where he is in a stable condition.

Update as of February 7, 2005. Tema was discharged from intensive care unit, but then was re-admitted with an acute pancreatitis. His infection has lessened, and he no longer has stomachaches.

Update as of February 13, 2006. Tema is still in intensive care unit. He is getting over the acute pancreatitis, but he still has aches. Tema needs Cyclosporine and Diflucan, to be received intravenously. The hospital does not have these drugs, so we need your help.

Update as of February 21, 2006. Tema developed intestinal blockage due to GVHD, and is suffering from strong pains. An emergency operation is being discussed.

Update as of February 22, 2006. After considering Tema's condition (his thrombocytes are at 10) and the potential surgery risks, the doctors concluded that the operation should be delayed. The lead surgeon is on-call today, so he will be available in case of emergency.
