Apheresis

Apheresis (stem cell rescue) is in process. I am learning SO much!!

I have some better pictures that I will post later.




Our apheresis supervisor (Amber) thinks we may be able to get all of the white blood cells we need today over the 5 1/2 hour treatment. We should know tonight around 8:00 how many cells they were able to rescue. Our ideal number is 15 million.

So far, so good.

    That whole process, what I sort of understand of it :), is pretty amazing! Hoping you got all the white blood cells you needed and he doesn't have to have that in longer than today!
