DONOR NOTES Part Deux

I posted a little from my friend who was donating her stem cells after she signed up for the registry on MY BEHALF!! Go to http://www.marrow.org/index.html for more information.

Well, she did it! She's done! The cells are on there way to the patient!!! GO US! What a way to finish the year. Here is our latest correspondance:

FROM HER TO ME

It's done.....WE have done it. I will tell you, it was not as nice as I thought it was going to be! But its for the cause, and he will appreciate it!!! Lets just say, I ended up with a central line, "IJ" style. I truly have to say that the nursing staff and "ziggi" were ROCKSTARS! They put up with everything that I threw their way....they ended up being able to do the entire harvest in one day because the central line could go at a faster rate (versus the two day....as quote "he must be a big guy")....which I'm not sure was the best for me, but they told my parents "we dont know how well she would do with two days"....so I came home late on monday night. Most of my symptoms are gone, a little chest pain and fatigue is all that lingers.....getting better every minute!!!! SO WE did it! I truely would have never done it without your strength and support.....Thanks!
And THANK YOU....He is handsome, "Jack" that is!!!!! You really didn't have to!
Keep in touch......Heres to a Happy and HEALTHY New Year!!!!!

FROM ME TO HER
