Finally, the day we have waited for...Stem Cell Transplant Day
It only took about 20 minutes. The SCT team came in and hooked up the IV bag containing the stem cells. (113 cc's of the finest, cleanest, cancer-free stem cells you would ever see!!!) They went in just like all the other IV fluids. When it was empty, they flushed the bag a couple of times to be sure she got every single cell. Then they were finished. That is that!!!
Kasey is doing well. Most of the nausea is gone, and she's getting tired of laying around. They say it will take approximately a week for the transplanted cells to find their home in the bones and start making new blood. She will be in the hospital maybe up to a week after that. So roughly 2 weeks and we can get back to the apartment.
Kasey says hello to everyone.
Thanks for reading.
