Big Moment

As I said earlier, the stem cell transplant is pretty anti-climatic.  The first unit of umbilical cord blood is done, and it only took about 15 minutes.  The second unit will be done around 4 PM.  Pam tolerated everything fine.  She was skyping with Alyssa and Austin until just before they started.

Here are some pictures from the first unit, beginning about 12 Noon.  As you can see, not a lot of volume, but it is rich with life saving stem cells:
