Long days, these. Again, we arrived at the hospital before daybreak, and it was almost dark by the time we got home. Jimmy is bone tired, and there's still more to come; he's in bed now, resting up for the next event.
Today's dawn to dusk stem cell foray culminated in the capture of 1.8 million more of the elusive little rascals. Although our numbers are much more comfortable now, we're collecting again tomorrow, thus Barbara Henry's ten o'clock AMD3100 injection tonight, and the same old song and dance in the morning. Having never been early risers, Jimmy and I are finding our current schedule most disagreeable.
Already low, Jimmy's red blood count dropped to below 8 after today's harvest, so they sent us over to hematology for a transfusion. By the time they had cross-typed his blood, and processed the order, and transfused Jimmy, another day had passed, and we were the last to leave the building.

Hi Mr & Mrs Dewar, it's Barbara. Just wanted to thank you for my rise to fame with your blog spot. I said a little prayer last night in hopes that your cell count goal was reached. I know that we made it!!! Hang in there, you're one step closer. We'll keep in touch. My email address is aoaklei@yahoo.com.
Peace and blessings,
Barbara
