Today was a textbook case of everything that could go right. Your prayers have been heard and answered!
Adele was on the pheresis (note the correct spelling) machine for 6 hours and did great. We just got back from the IPOP. She did have enough stem cells harvested - 10,000,000 minimum! Her platelets were also good enough that she did not need to get any more platelets transfused, or we would have been another 1 1/2 hour before we could get back.
Tomorrow is another IPOP (Last one?) visit at 7:30 AM and possibly home by sometime around 1 PM. We will need to wait for the decision tomorrow, but it should be OK to go home, except in a case of bad counts. The blood will be drawn and checked there first thing, and by 10 AM we should be packing our bags.. I plan on packing before they tell us that we can leave. I know God is with us and we will be in our own home tomorrow evening!
Thanks to everyone for the prayers - Rick (honestly, a tearful, joyful Rick)
