The transplant day itself is fairly anticlimactic. The next few days, weeks and months are when we will begin to see the results. From here on out the doctors check her counts daily to see when they begin to go up, this marks the beginning of the engraftment process. Starting today Mom is also on a strict transplant diet for the next 100 days.
We thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for today! It was another long day but the Lord continues to hold each of us in His loving care.
"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" Isaiah 30:22
Here are a few pictures from the past couple days.
Mom's brother John going through the process of harvesting the stem cells. Thankfully he was able to donate all the cells needed in one day.
Here is Mom receiving the stem cells today:
We are so thankful the journey so far is completed and praise God for giving John and Louise all they need to keep a great attitude! We pray that the procedure will be successful and that dear Louise will move forward healthy and happy! We continue to pray and love all of you! Keep smiling Louise! we hold you up in continuous prayer! They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, and rise up on wings of an eagle! May He wrap His loving arms around you!
