Stem Cell Transplant, Day-1 and Counting

Hi folks. This is Jim writing for Denise. This has been a hard day with uncontrollable diarrhea, queasiness, and overwhelming fatigue. Actually, if the diarrhea stopped, I think the rest would be pretty bearable. In spite of all this, Denise is doing much better than most people do. The doctor is very happy with her overall health going into the first day of transplant tomorrow. Please pray that the diarrhea would resolve quickly, that she'd have more energy (although this is normal when your blood counts are nearly wiped out), and above all, that the transplant would go well tomorrow. There are potential dangers to the transplant itself, but of course we pray that God will use the transplant to heal her.
