Mary’s cells 100% grafted with Jennifer’s!

It’s a GREAT day and prayers have been answered.

Late last night the doctors came in and had the results on the Engraftment/DNA test. Are you ready for this? It showed that Mary’s cells are 100% grafted with Jennifer. All cells look at are Mary’s cells. THE STEM CELL TRANSPLANT WORK!!!!! 100% Mary cells!!!!! Jennifer and Mary did it!!!! Thank you GOD!!!!!!

There’s dancing in the streets and rooftops in Houston TX.

Jennifer’s counts are still very strong. On Friday her white cells went up to 2650 and the ANC was at 2180. WOW! Today counts went down a little but still very good. The white cells are at 2240 and the ANC is at 1630. Her Mono is at 10% today and this means that her counts will go up tomorrow. They have to go up tomorrow,,,,, IT’S HER BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Everything is still a go for her surprise PARTY tomorrow. Dave and Judy are bringing down some of Jennifer’s friends and we are going to use the Doctors lounge for the party. Mary is out today getting things for the room and the party. I’m going to make Jennifer a homemade apple pie tonight. The cake is already done and we are just waiting for tomorrow. It’s going to be a GREAT DAY!

The PIC line is out and Jennifer’s right side is feeling better. She still very sore but the swelling is going away. Her stomach is still giving her a lot of trouble. Now we just need to it her up and moving, eating on her own, have the swelling go away and her will be able to get out of the hospital and get into the apartment.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for all the prayers, e-cards, notes and strength you have given Jennifer, Mary and the whole family. Jennifer IS climbing the mountain and she has a lot of support (YOU) to help her. Keep them coming!

Thanks
Tim
