Sorry things are going so badly. Hope the aspiration pneumonia resolves quickly!

Yes, the PML "side effect" was scary enough to read when just thinking about trying it...can only imagine how you feel. Try to take heart in that the cases are rare, and the odds ARE in his favor that he will be just fine. However, you may want to consider whether or not to continue, remembering that the PML can occur for up to a year after the LAST infusion.

Hang in there and keep us posted.
