Greetings and salutations loved ones! (Karen here again)
Well, it is Day 0! The Transplant went off without a hitch. (I am not a fluids and ooze kind of person, but for those of you that are, boy was it a cool day. The Stem Cells looked an awful lot like dark colored Campbell's Tomato Soup). (Ugh!!) The transfusion took about an hour. We had a chaplain come in a few minutes before and say a few prayers and a few blessings. She was no Father Carl, but it was nice and simple.
I wrote yesterday that Tony has been having some fevers. They come and go as the Tylenol works its magic and then fades away. Its hard because he has tremors and they really hit him hard. They take a lot of energy! But the nurses are great and have the ability to give him many different meds to try to alleviate all the discomfort.
Everything else is looking good. We are hoping the fevers will fade completely in the next 24 hours. Tony and I will keep you posted! When he is feeling more energetic, then he'll help me post the pics of the transplant.
Whew...Wow!

Bust that fever Tony and keep up the good work.

Hi Tony and Karen! I've been out of town and am just catching up on all that's been happening while I'm away. But Auntie said you two are doing a great job and I'm about to find out for myself. Thinking of you both, always. (Also, weird about the Campbell's soup stem cells. I always thought they'd be clear.)
