Update on my son's stem cell donation.

[nolabear]

It went well, and he’s beginning to get over the effects of the bone marrow stimulant, which were pretty uncomfortable. He’s celebrating his first cup of coffee in days!

I’m trying not to call every hour. But they made the trip and will get to be there for a few days. Then the scary part—my b-I-l goes in for the intense chemo before receiving the cells and the intense chemo after. We’re all scared but hopeful.

I can’t thank you guys enough for the support. I cannot believe how short my typically at least medium long fuse has been these last few weeks. Stress does crazy things to you. Try to be patient and accept patience. Love to everyone.

10. A dear friend had a stem cell transplant from her son, late last year.

It is a long road for the recipient, but an incredible gift. Your son was great to do this.

15. Make sure everyone stays hydrated

My husband had one chemo session every month that was long and grueling. He got deathly ill, and we figured out to schedule an IV hydration session within a day or so of the chemo.

Hang in there and be tough

22. Stem Cell Transplant

My daughter had an autologous (means self donated) stem cell transplant in 2016 as a treatment for Scleroderma. During the intense chemo time when they were taking her white cells down, she slept a LOT and we just remained by her side and gave her soup or a drink if she awakened! When they were ready to actually reintroduce her stem cells into her body, the process only took about 17 minutes but it was all life-saving! Thank you Lord for advanced in science that make these miracles possible! I will be praying for your son until we hear he's on his way home! Best of luck to you.
