Transplant Complete

Yesterday was the big day. Sylvia went into the University of Washington Medical Center early for surgery to harvest bone marrow. The procedure was over early in the afternoon. She spent the night recovering in the hospital and was discharged this morning. She is doing well although she is tired and stiff. She is looking forward to getting some light walks in to loosen up and hasten the recovery.

Jill received the bone marrow last evening. That procedure also went well. She had some discomfort overnight but is doing quite well. She now starts receiving series of drugs to control the Graft Versus Host Disease that follows transplantation. I will let you know how that goes in the next posting.

Thank you all for your messages and emails.
