Happy Apheresis Day!

Stem cells are being collected as we speak. A pleasant surprise: an old friend of mine from high school is our nurse! We shot a video so you can see just how uneventful this process is, and just how pregnant my face is starting to look.

Ah, parallel netflix... You guys could be an advertisement.

Hooray for stem cells, your positive outlook, and your sense of humor. After waking from a coma, during which many invasive things were done, my dad asked "Am I still a man?" Somehow I see your goal to be similar: get a smile out of everyone you meet :)

Hey guys
The video post is awesome! My mom started apheresis today too, and its reassuring to see what kind of crazy machinery she is hooked up to a couple thousand miles away. Love the good luck and good games for your blood, way to be encouraging! Sending thoughts of big numbers and mucho stem cells from CA

Best of luck!

Just checking on you my friend to see how your feeling. I remember my time through that contraption and thinking man it looks like an old Reel to Reel Tape machine we used to use back in the old Television days. Take care of yourself and get plenty of fluids in your system. But I'm sure you already know that :)
