Tomorrow is the stem cell transplant! It is possible that it will not take place until evening. The International donor is having his stem cells harvested today, and they will be flown to the Detroit Airport. A professional courier handles the transfer to University of Michigan Hospital. The cells are processed and counted...about 2,000,000 cells are transfused. If there is a surplus, they will be frozen and stored in case he needs more later.
Ron is feeling a little better today, and we are anxious to hear an update on the transport of the stem cells. We are so grateful for Ron's previous weeks of care on 8B that made this transplant possible. His former P.A. came to visit us this morning and wish Ron well. We appreciate your interest and concern as you follow this blog. We feel the positive vibes rolling in.
Ron & Jan
