Day 0 - Stem Cells arrive

Today is the BIG Day!! Stem cells arrived in a Cyroshipper using Liquid Nitrogen and were warmed by a steam bath of Sodium Chloride, to body temp. The bag was hung with the sodium chloride solution (SCS) and dripped, via gravity - no pump, straight into Adele. The stem cell bag emptied quickly and was rinsed with SCS 3 times to make sure every cell was given to her. Next the second and last bag was done the same way and she has now been given her stem cells and is on the way to recovery!

Praise the Lord God Almighty for everyone that has helped in this process.
