Here we go. I get my
new cells today!
The Chaplain is coming by for a quick blessing around
9am-ish. Then I get the transplant at
10. Then I’ll have my own nurse assigned
to just me all day. (oh joy)
The conditioning was rough, I don’t wish that on
anybody. Thanks for all the encouraging
wishes, and positive vibes. Now let’s go
build some new marrow!
A special shout out to my donor today:
Your selfless act humbles me, I can’t believe that a complete
stranger would take the time and go through the discomfort of donating their
stem cells to me.
Thank you for my healing!
Update on the day:
Chaplain came in around 930am and did the blessing which was very
nice. Keegan, Damian, Jacob and Cesar
were here for the transplant. They
started the transplant at 10:07am and it ended at 11:30am. Joe did really well during the entire
event. Now the nurse will monitor him for
the next hour and he will rest for the remainder of the day. Special cheer for those stem cells: “Go forth and multiply and create the marrow
that will restore Joe’s cells. – Go Cells Go!”

Joe, thinking of you all the time. I know those cells are doing their thing...Karen
One small step for man ( not really) one large leap for mankind. Happy that part is over. Keep up the good work. We are all on your side with prayer and good vibes.
God Bless Joe Sworan! Yeah, new cells are on the way, stay strong!
God Bless, Joe and family! You're all in my thoughts and prayers!
Way to go, Joe. Sending good wishes your way for the marrow to multiply. Can't you just get it wet? That's how Gremlins multiply... just sayin' :)
John,
They gave him rabbit yesterday. We all know Rabbits multiply like crazy.
Awesome work! Rest. Keep on keeping on. These cells like you. Looking forward to updates on your incredible recovery. Blessings!! <3
GO CELLS - GO!!! Sending good thoughts and prayers your way Joe. You've got so much love and support - It's gonna be great :-)
