Stem Cell Transplant

Hi, my name is Debora and I am Jim's wife. I will be posting on this blog since I am here in Seattle with Jim. Hopefully I can keep you informed.

Jim received his stem cells back on Feb 28 and Mar 1, effectively making what the hospital staff refer to as his "new birthday" Mar 1. Today we are at day 15 post transplant.

After the procedure Jim was allowed to return home to the motel we are staying in. He was being followed on a daily basis by SCCA. Blood draws in the morning, clinics 1/2 later. If there were any problems he would be transferred to the Infusion floor to receive hydration and/or platelets.

I have been keeping a blog/journal for myself on a different site. I will transfer some of those postings to this site.
