Harvesting Time
We got a call at 6:15am this morning saying that J needed to come down to the hospital right then because his stem cells are ready to harvest. Due to a lack of communication last night they didn't get us called until this morning. J headed out with his dad at 7:45am. He called me just a few min ago (8:50am) and told me that they may only have to do one harvesting because his stem cell counts are super high as well as his white counts! This process should take about 4 hours and they say it could make him really tired today and for the next couple of days. Once they've harvested the cells it could be as short as 2 weeks before he starts this next journey.
