Clever Little Cells

We heard this evening that Gerry's blood count is good enough to start the harvest tomorrow - hooray!

We'd heard it wasn't uncommon for the growth hormone shots to go on for a few more days - we're glad to be moving on to the next level of this adventure. I swear, it's like a video game.

This makes us oddly giddy - as if Gerry's done something very smart with his little cells (and he has!)

So tomorrow at 7:00 am we'll be at Gonda with bells on, and they'll start the harvesting (separating the stem cells from other blood cells.)

We'll have a threshing party and we'll hope for the best! Harvest is always such a fun time!

Good luck with everything! It must feel good to be in the action part rather than the waiting part.
