So far so good! Uncle Ron was put under around 11 this morning and was out of the hospital around 3pm. He has some stiffness in his lower back but overall is doing fine.
Dad's portion of the transplant started around 3pm and finished at 7:15. Once the bone marrow started dripping in he felt nauseous and is still sick with flu-like symptoms. The nurses were on hand every 15 minutes during the transplant to check his blood pressure etc.
As mentioned before we will not know how it is affecting Dad for at least 10 days, possibly more.
We are so thankful to God that Dad was able to have this transplant and that Uncle Ron was a match. Please continue to pray with us that this transplant will be a success. Thank you so much for your love and support!
