LATEST UPDATE

Well, here we are on day “one” of the climb! If Ceci were able to blog she would share details of her “transplant” day. However, because she is not the one blogging you will get those details later!

Ceci’s day has been filled with a lot of up and down moments. She got up this morning feeling good and then nausea arrived and hung around way too long! The medication that makes her body be a good “host” for Ryan’s stem cells is the one causing her to experience a pain level of 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. One of her “up” moments was when Allan read to her some Christmas cards sent from her friends. To all of you friends out there, thanks for making Ceci have a smile and a moment of laughter!


Ryan remained home today getting some much needed rest after his long day yesterday. They cycled his blood four times to harvest the number of stem cells they needed. Hopefully, he will recover quickly and be back to conditioning for baseball season.


We cannot thank you enough for your thoughts, prayers, love and support you have shown our family. Please continue to pray for strength, rest and health as we “climb” toward the day when Ceci is 100% MDS free!
