After all the fuss we've made over this "new drug", AMD3100, one would expect, at the very least, that it would be ushered in with a brass band, or a flourish of trumpets heralding its arrival. Not so. At ten o'clock tonight, a very nice home health nurse named Barbara Henry came to the apartment, took Jimmy's vital signs, and a couple of vials of blood, gave him the shot and left. That simple.
However, because of that simple little shot , when we get home from the hospital tomorrow afternoon, we expect to be well on our way to having enough stem cells to do Jimmy's transplant next week. Barbara told us tonight that it usually takes two or three sessions to get enough, but that's OK, as long a we get them. We should know tomorrow's count by six o'clock PM.
