Here We Go!

Mimi was admitted to the hospital in San Antonio. She will receive high dose chemotherapy to kill off her own remaining bone marrow cells before the transplant of the new donor bone marrow cells will be given via her port. It is a fine dance between making sure all of her cancer is gone, and not letting her blood counts get too low. So far, mom has not had to receive many transfusions along this journey and we hope that remains true. 

Her room is TINY! We may be here for several weeks

Note from John to Mimi
The nurses encouraged her to walk around several times a day

The gift of LIFE - this is the bone marrow!

This was simply infused into her port. Amazing.
