Wow, I am so proud of Carole for donating her stem cells to help someone she doe not know and who could be anywhere in the world. Carole, was so relieved when it was over as she does not like pain, but she went through having two painful needles a day for 4 days. She has really dainty veins so this morning she had to have a catheter inserted so that they could take the blood, which goes into a machine that takes out the stem cells. Her blood was taken out and put back in four times through this machine. They told her that her stem cells were A1 and someone came with their cooler and it will be on a flight tonight!!! What an awesome thing she did. I learned so much today about all that is involved in stem cell donation. Carole was so relieved it was over, as it is stressful to go through procedures like that. I drove her to her mother’s apartment and she was so happy it was over. She has to take it easy for the next few days. She is hoping to be home by the end of the week.
Will keep you posted. Have a great gamble free day!!!
