What a day! Irene underwent the dialysis and stem cell harvesting!! She was very lightheaded and weak from the treatment and from not eating because of nausea the last 24 hours. She is now in her room recovering!!! We hope she will sleep well tonight because she will go through the same process tomorrow!!!!
She is also beginning to experience pain and discomfort in her bones from the bone marrow shots she received a few days ago. This was anticipated; she’s certainly got a lot going!!
She is grateful for your prayerful support. Enjoy the two pix that I took today while she was attached to the machine and going through the process!! She gave me a thumbs up!! One photo is with the two attending nurses; the other is Dr. Catherine Smith, her Hemotology specialist. The team at UCSF has been extraordinary. They’re smart and they care…
Stay tuned…
Dave
