Good morning!
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. My husband’s transplant went well yesterday, no complications! Actually, it was quite moving. The chaplain said a beautiful prayer just before the stem cells were infused. I can’t tell you how it felt to watch the blood move in the IV line and into him. My heart was bursting with gratitude and hope.
After a couple of hours, he ordered pancakes and potatoes for dinner! I felt all the prayers being sent up for him/us, truly.
Another fun sign we got was that his nurses’s mane was Abby. That’s our beloved dog’s name too. So we felt like our “pack” was together in spirit! lol.

My husband is good about telling the medical team if he has any new symptoms. We realize how important that is to stay ahead of any complications. I also know that the next couple weeks will not be a walk in the park for him. But I trust the team caring for him to help as best they can to keep him comfortable and nourished. Thank you and @loribmt for generously sharing your experiences and for your support.

Here’s a photo of one of the walls in my husband’s hospital room. We not only celebrated his new re-birth but also our 19th wedding anniversary yesterday! Such a blessing.

@katgob I pray you continue to heal and recover nicely!

Mary
