Day 57 October 27, 2026 Tuesday

Day 57

Chimera is when a person has more than one DNA.  It happens in rare circumstances in humans.

In Stem Cell Transplant, it's what they are looking for.  If they find Danger's (the donor's) DNA in Mark's blood, that is a big milestone to pass.

Yesterday, they said 100% was the donor's.

During the transition, they check his blood type every three days.  Yesterday, Mark was given blood, type O neg. Mark's original blood type was A-, but since the transplant it has been multiple different types that are not the ones we know.  The donor is O+.
