Apheresis day is here!!
They came in today at 9:30 am and told me that everything looked good and we would procede with my stem cell collection. Because of my infection they will culture my stem cells and make sure they are infection free before deciding to use them. I am on the apheresis machine right now having the stem cells filtered from my blood. I started at 10:30 am. I don't feel anything but it sounds like a washing machine. I am lucky to have internet access. I've read all my emails, done my blog, Next I will watch a dvd or tv. Who could ask for more?
I was finiished at 3:30 pm and they were able to collect all my stem cells in one try. They collected 14 million cells. More good news, I get to go home tomorrow. I am one happy camper!

Hi Eve, I have been rooting for you/praying for you ever since Julie told me about your situation. Remember me? I am her friend from Sinai-Grace and now Providence. I thought I remembered that you always had talent with the computer....and now your own blog!! That is awesome! I love the spirit you show in it too! Hope it lifts yours to read how much love is coming your way!
"Let the Healing begin...."and smile, God loves you.

Hi Evelyn,
Just talked to Sylvia tonight and your Mom. Sylvia told me you are doing great and are in good spirits. Glad everything is going so well and that you are coming home tomorrow. Am praying for your healing. Julie is carrying the baby breach and the Doctor is going to try and turn it in 2 weeks. She might have the baby at that time. It might be a C Section.
Love, Sally
Eve~
It is wonderful to have a way to follow you in your journey. We have a "Caring Bridge" site for Bob to do the same. (www.caringbridge.org/visit/ the type in bobkjeldsen).
Hoping you get to go home today!
