As I drove home from the hospital tonight from visiting Adam, it occurred to me that somewhere in the world a stranger was possibly giving himself to us at that very moment. And even if it wasn't at that very moment my thoughts and thanks went out to him for his selfless act. Tomorrow is the big day, which in reality is going to be fairly anti-climatic, as the transplant itself is just another drip hung and infused into his central line over about half an hour. After that it is a 2-3 week waiting game to see if the transplant has taken. If all goes well Adam will be able to leave his DNA places and outwit the best CSI!!
With that little ditty to think about, the update on the man who really counts right now. He started the day off not bad but it seems the ATG has a delayed effect and by the time I visited tonight he was feeling pretty lousy again. With extreme nausea, fatigue and some vomiting. He did however manage to ride the recumbent bike for a couple of minutes earlier in the day. I'm not sure he still prefers his place to mine, but he is hangin' in there.
Any ways folks it's time I went to bed but lets all spend the next 24 hours thinking kind thoughts to the stranger out there who is about to become our hero.
Caity
