Jan 28, Day Zero again! Happy Birthday!

"Just the Facts"--  Got new super stem cells infused middle of the night, Its his Birthday.  Feeling ok, weak and a little discomfort but all in all doing well.

Happy Birthday B,  This is his real birhday as well and his new birthday.  Is that amazing?   This has been very intriguing for the hospital staff to realize that his new birthday is on his real birthday...they are tripping out over that one.  The actual infusion went really well.  They expect some headache, fever, or shakes, B didn't have any of that, all vitals presented really well.  Being in the middle of the night he tried to sleep, but was awaken every 10 to 15 minutes to take vitals, that is how closely they monitor the infusion. So that was the only hard part.  He is a bit puffy due to all the fluids they are pumping into him and that causes some discomfort, but really, that is not too hard considering all that is going on.  The next 10 days will determine how these cell fare.  The prayer will be to have the cells work their way to the bone marrow and start to produce and to not have B's existing cells not attack the new cells. We were really blessed to be at this place and time in our lives.

We have been blessed by so many people, B had a great visit yesterday from a dear friend.  He got to sit in on a 5 doctor consult, so he got more for his money.  Another great friend got my dishwasher working.  I really needed that.  I have had beautiful ladies walking our crazy dog, thank you!  And there have been cards and gifts in the mail almost every other day.  Some deliveries of gifts show up almost anywhere, even at the hospital.  Some have provided meals to my girls!  Great jokes and photos sent via e-mail.  And I can't begin to tell you how many people are praying for us.  That we could not go a day without.  So a big THANK YOU to all.  I do need to do a shout out to all about the opening today (a very good day) of El ReyTaco Shop over on Moraga.  Be sure to stop by and get a taco and give our dear friend Victor a hug!

Well, we have come a long way, but we still  have a long way to go to be out of the Woods, ha!  So if you don't mind, please keep the prayers going, we deisre full health to the point of B getting in the surf again.
And a thank you to my co-workers and boss for their great support and understanding with my schedule during this time.  They have been so great.
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer.
