Stem Cell Collection - Day 2

Stem cell collection went from 8:30 am at 12:30 pm today.  It's hard being nailed to a bed for four hours.  During this time today I experienced a little calcium inbalance.  My arm muscles were impacted considerably - to the point that they felt paralyzed.  Fortunately, the condition was temporary.  

It's now 6:00 pm and I'm still waiting for today's harvest count.  Yesterday the count was 1.9 million stem cells harvested.  The goal is between 5 and 10 million.

The technology that I am experiencing is amazing.  The hospital staff is top of the line and very caring.

Thanks to all for your prayers and best wishes.
