Things started getting hectic about 8:30 tonight when the nurse came in and said the stem cells were on their way to the hospital. It was a little earlier than planned so he was moving quickly to be prepared when they arrived. About 20 minutes later they were delivered to the room so the infusion began early. It is now 10:25pm and things are going smoothly. We can see that it is going to take a few more hours. They are monitoring him closely, but honestly I think we both might sleep for the 2nd half of this, at least off and on. I know many of you are praying. Thank you! Matt is doing great physically (although he is now on morphine for pain from the mucositis) and we are both holding up well emotionally. We are definitely comforted by being together and are thankful to God for His provision and peace that surpasses all understanding. Thank you for your guestbook entries, e-mails, texts, etc., but most of all your prayers. Jackie & Matt *I posted a few new pictures!
