The Gift of Life


Eddie spent most of today hooked up to an apheresis machine. As is typical for members of the Thompson family, Eddie went well above and beyond the call of duty. When the final tally was complete, Eddie had donated over 16 MILLION stem cells. I hope he has a few left for himself!

Tomorrow is a big day for Jo. She'll have a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) inserted into her chest. Similar to the PICC line she had almost 5 years ago, this device will be used to administer medication and draw blood over the next several months.

This Sunday, we'll move into an apartment just down the street from MD Anderson. As soon as we are settled in, I will post a local address where notes and cards can be sent.
