Days 35 & 36….7TH stem cell…nearly there!
February 25th, 2010
Hello there,
Well, we have calmed down a little since all the excitement. Thats why I forgot to write last night!! Ooooppss! I had my 7th stem cell transfer last night via IV. It went really well. No hiccups! It was over in about an hour and temperature and blood pressure all normal. Only one more spinal to go!! I cant believe we are here 5 weeks today, it went so quickly. Except for today, went so slow. We didnt do much. Dr Tony came in this morning, he has arranged for the eye tests next tuesday and will give me a copy of all before we go home.To show the doctors at home. Prove them wrong!!! I told them I would do it!! I know its a little but if this is all i get I will be happy woman!! Its a great feeling.
Anyway, nothing else to report from Qingdao, hope everyone is super happy! Like me!!
Chat tomorrow,
Valerie and Matthew
