Day +5

Hello Everyone! So sorry I haven't been able to post over the last few days. I've been having issues with Blogger and couldn't get signed on.
Wednesday was the big day! Seamus finished up the collection process with a total collection of five million stem cells! He did an awesome job! (Thank you Seamus!) At the end of his procedure, his hemoglobin count was low and his doctor thought he might need to receive blood. Four hours and a nice steak later, his doctor was happily surprised to find that his counts were back up to normal. These O'Sheas are a strong bunch!
Patrick's transplant went well. He received Seamus's stem cells via his PICC line over two hours. The following 14 days will be the toughest. It takes about two weeks for Patrick to start producing his own white blood cells. Then the healing can begin. It's a hard road but Patrick is keeping a good attitude. He's pushing through and looking forward to healthy days ahead.
Thank you all for your continued support! I'll update you again in a couple of days.
Gracias!
