TRANSPLANT

Erin came and did amazing, she was able to come up and see us on Sunday and then early Monday morning she had a port placed in her neck where a few hours later they removed her stem cells and then saved till the next day for the transplant. She did amazing, and we were told by the docs that she had robust cells, so we were all quite happy about that. The next day chad was again pre medded with Benadryl and received his transplant. He laid in bed, sleeping while the hung her cells and allowed them to slowly transfuse in. it seemed just like a blood transfusion. To anyone that has ever experience d or seen one , it is pretty anticlimactic, but knowing that this was going to save his life, made the experience different, he slept, I watched and was grateful for the blessings of medicine and people that dedicate their lives to finding treatments, I was and am grateful for all those that sent love and prayers on this day and all others and I was grateful that this experience potentially gave my husband a longer life on earth to spend with me.
