Good news! They've started harvesting Jim's stem cells! This is an important milestone, and a big step foreward.
This morning, Jim spent a couple hours getting his IV infusion of vancomycin; then five hours hooked up to a machine as the stem cells were harvested; then, in the evening, several more hours on his evening IV antibiotic infusion. He said they did keep him entertained, and even brought him appetizing and delicious food to eat along the way!
He'll have a day or two more of stem cell harvesting, but will have to remain in Seattle until the round of IV antibiotics is finished.
Please pray that his cough will clear up soon, so that he will not have to deal with that when he goes in for the main treatment in a couple of weeks.
