Day -1

Seamus was admitted into COH today. He started his stem cell collection and will continue tomorrow morning. He did very well! (Thank you Seamus!) The human body contains 5.1 liters of blood. Seamus cycled 21+ liters of blood over six hours! That means his entire blood supply went through the centrifuge system just over four times. Wow!
Patrick had a rough day...Nausea, headaches and very tired / a residual of his conditioning. His spirits are high,though, and he's looking forward to his transplant tomorrow. Time for bed now...big day tomorrow!
Thank you all for your continued support. Your prayers and well wishes make all the difference.
Gracias!

  7. I am so happy you are going along with the schedule amazingly well. Your picture with your dog is heart warming and you look great. I like Tim's comments and would likewise want to reassure you that it's all good so far. I have good vibes.
    Love to you and Isaac. I am looking forward to meeting him.
