I am in Duke with Donna today and she is currently getting the Bone Marrow Transplant. They started at 3:00pm and it will only take about one hour. It is amazing how one little bag of blood can hold 8 million stem cells. She is doing fairly well. She is having some sensations from the stem cells going into her body but nothing out of the ordinary.
Here at Duke everyone has been telling Donna, Happy Birthday!(They call the Transplant Day, Birthday. The nurses said they would spare her and not sing Happy Birthday to her.lol.
We want to thank you all so much for praying for Donna and the donor. For without the donor this wouldn't be possible.
Thank You, Monica and Joel.

All I know is Donna said her mouth felt like it was getting bigger and we don't need her mouth to get any bigger than it already is. Monica typed this email for me cause Jim don't have his email eyes on.

ReplyDeleteDonna, I love you, and I am so glad this is underway right now....finally.
God is with you, God is with the doctors, and God is with the donor.
Thank you God for being in our hearts and minds, and thank you for the love you share.
