Stem Cell Treatment #1 is complete!  Don called at 5am our time to say that the treatment was done and Ella did great:)  It took just about an hour and she is now sleeping. 

 He had some wonderful people in the stem cell room with him while Ella’s treatment was being done.  He just cannot stress enough how nice everyone is.  He told me about three families that he is really getting to know and it just makes me feel so good to hear this.  ( Thank you for the message Debbie-Don spoke of you and your son and I am thankful you are there:) I am also thankful to the nice lady who took pictures of that first stem cell treatment-you are an angel!  I had a list of things I wanted Don to take pictures of so you were there to help with that, thank you!

Don enjoyed his first pizza yesterday and he says it was good.  He plans on ordering take out once a day, saves on the trips out of the hospital since they deliver it to them.   He plans on taking Ella out for a walk when they can leave the hospital since they had to stay put all day yesterday since it was a Stem Cell day.

I hear that I have an avid reader of my blog and I have to say a special hello to her!  Hazel, I am so happy that you are keeping up with Ella’s Journey:) Grandma Helen has posted some nice messages on our website and I really appreciate hearing from all of you!  We really need to get together, I know Blake and Zoe would love to see you again!  You keep those messages coming, ok?

That is all for now, thank God for those stem cells and I can’t wait to hear from Don if he starts to notice any changes…..I will be praying hard as I know many of you will.
