First Stem Cells
Justin got his first stem cells transplant today and it was a piece of cake. We were brought to a room with two lazy boys where we sat our bums down for half an hour with Justin in my lap. Justin fell asleep while receiving the stem cells and so far there has been no side effects.
So next will be the stem cell transplant via lumbar puncture on wednesday. That will be a little harder because Justin will have to stay flat on his back or on his side for 6 hours after the transplant to minimize the side effects. The side effects are headaches and nausia. We were told that if Justin stays in one of those postions he should not have any side effects which shouldn’t be a problem because he can’t move but he will most likely be pretty cranky. We’re hoping that he will fall asleep once again after and have a nice long nap.
Thank you all for your comments, thoughts and wishes. We will continue to update the blog.
