Coming Home Tuesday (Cross Your Fingers!!!)

I had a message from Jack this afternoon telling me that Vicki did beautifully today. They inserted the catheter in her neck and did the first apheresis session as planned. The quality of the white cells they collected was very "rich", which is a good thing, so good that they might have gotten enough on this first try. The technician who tests the sample has gone home for the day so we won't know until the morning. There's a small chance they'll have to do one more collection tomorrow, but either way Vicki should be able to go home tomorrow. She's in a bit of pain from the catheter so taking some good pain relief to keep her comfortable tonight.

Everybody say your prayers and cross your fingers!
