They gave Andrew a test dose of the ATG on his arm around 1:30, and his arm reacted to it and developed a rash. The hematologists are meeting with each other and consulting the pharmacists to figure out what might have happened and come up with a course of action.
ATG is literally an equine serum that is developed in and extracted from horses, it is possible that he is reacting to a protein in the horse, the active ingredients, or some other additive. Basically, we don't know right now, and the impression we get from the doctors don't make us believe that they know.
So everything is on hold right now with treatment while the doctors try to figure things out.
