Day 0 : Stem Cell Update
October 23, 2024
Hi Everyone
Claire here …
Scott has done very well today. Such an exciting day with the stem cell infusion.
He has slept for much of the day and does feel pretty wiped out and will likely not be online before tomorrow.
The stem cells arrived around 12 and it all happened quite fast. (Total of about 15 min actual infusion). It was so nice to have some key medical staff from the Haem Team, as well as the nurses to over see it all happening. The stem cells have to be warmed up from -8 degrees celcius to room temperature and rapidly administered via IV drip to maintain their health. It was very exciting watching the red liquid making its way into Scott’s jugular port. Wow! We thank God for medical science and the new chance this is giving Scott.
Thank you so much for all the amazing messages and love and support. We feel so strengthened by them.
Please pray for the clearing of a red rash that Scott has mostly on his legs and back. They have given him a cream for this which is soothing.
Please continue to pray for him to remain infection and complication free and for another good nights sleep for us both.
We are so thankful to God for His enabling grace and for how He is carrying us through this storm.
Sending lots of love from us both. ♥️🙏
