As I type the last of 8,000,000 stem cells are being transfused. Now we just have to wait and hope and pray that those cells get in there, find a home, like what they see and hang out to party.

It’s only the beginning, but we have a lot on our side. We found out this morning that of the 3 levels of matching, all were met perfectly. Including the blood type being the same which is great. They also were able to harvest a lot of cells from the donor and they only needed about a 1/3 of them today. So, as a plus they were able to freeze enough for 3 – 4 more transplants, just in case it takes more cells to stick. She’s looking and feeling really healthy today, and much stronger than some of the patients we’ve met here.

So here we go, ready for battle!


Thanks all for your thoughts and prayers.
