January 22, 2009: Jill had the stem cell transplant around 2 pm this afternoon. She is doing well. She has had so much medication that between the Ativan and the Benadryl, she is sleeping. She smells like creamed corn and that is from the preservative that was used for the stem cells.
The doctor said that stem cells are very smart. She looked around and said that all the people in this room (There were six of us) combined are not as smart as the stem cells. Somehow, they just know exactly what to do. They start repairing what needs to be fixed. A chaplain asked God to bless the cells and Jill had a reading from the book of Psalms, "The Lord is my Sheppard." It was a new Celebration of Life!
She looks very rested now. When Jill woke up she asked if she could have STEAK. She wanted Steak Simirica from the Villa.
Right now she is getting a blood transfusion. Everything is going as planned and we are very excited.
We want to thank everyone for their prayers and support that are making this dream come true
Love
Doreen
