The doctors have decided to wait on using the Remicade and have decided to try a treatment that is not as harsh: plasmapheresis. The entire team working on Alan agrees that it would be a better option since it does not target the immune system directly. They will probably start him on it tomorrow morning since it takes a team to set it up. They hope to see signs of change three days from the start of the treatment.
