Ralph has had his new birth! The actual re-infusion lasted 4 minutes! The preparation was one day less than 5 months! His cheeks got red, he asked for peppermints to mask the taste, and mentioned that his ears felt hot. The doctor checked his vital signs and told him that the cells would begin to make their home in 10 to 14 days. That is when they will begin to grow. He has begun to lose his appetite from the Chemo taken this past Tuesday and Wednesday and is expected to feel tired from the Benadryl given prior to the re-infusion. All reactions to the Chemo will begin tomorrow or Saturday.
The experience is quite emotional. No doubt, a plethora of feelings and thoughts are going through Ralph's head. He is anxious and doesn't know what to do with himself. Ralph, Megan, and I received communion. He put on his mask, and then walked a few laps, with Megan, in the area where the air is filtered.
LET THE HEALING BEGIN!!! Again, thank you, family and friends, for your constant support, thoughts, and prayers!
