Post #44 - Happy New Birthday - Bill is one day old
Day zero - November 9th, 2010 at 11:42am Bill began to receive his new stem cells. The process was non-invasive and only took about an hour. The nurse set up the room, brought in the bag of Ed's stem cells, which looked like tomato soup, and hooked it up to to Bill. The process can be compared to getting a blood transfusion.
Ed, Margy and I did not let the non event of the process stop us from having a party. We had banners, cards, gifts to unwrap and pie. The pie was topped with a zero candle (we did not light it). Thank you to everyone for your calls, prayers and well wishes.
Even Stem Celly joined in for the celebration.
Margy and Ed left yesterday to go home to their respective families.
Day 1 - Today was a good day for Bill. Eating well and getting his exercise. Each day since chemo ended Bill's levels have gone down. Day 5 - 6 is when it is expected that his levels will be at their lowest.
