Nate has his stem cell transplant at 1 pm today. The transplant is a non-event compared to the process of getting to this point. It takes between 15 min-1 hr for the cells to be infused. Please pray the stem cells engraft in the bone marrow. Then we wait for his blood counts to rebound- his immune system to return. Please pray for minimal complications during this recovery period. We know that the majority of patients come down with a fever and need blood transfusions at some point. Please pray for manageable nausea and fatigue. And pray that we can find activities to keep us occupied in this hospital room for the next couple weeks.
Here is Nate's hospital address. Please don't send anything too close to April 27.
