T-Cells Completed

And... it's done.  Like Roger's allogenic transplant, the actual procedure of infusing T-cells is anticlimactic. After all the weeks of preparation and talking about the pros and cons. . . . the whole thing was done in less than an hour.  I'll offer more details and projections over the next few days.  Today, just a few photos of the experience.

We'll stay in Salt Lake tonight and, barring unforeseen circumstances, will drive home tomorrow.

Roger sports a new wrist band that gets double, triple and quadruple checked against the T-cells.

The big container from the cryogenics lab is delivered.  Robert's cells have been frozen for almost a year.

When the assistant from the cryogenics lab opens the container, vapor from the dry ice flows eerily out into the room.

Nurse Jared hangs the bags and oversees the whole procedure. Five bags and we're done.

Because the cells are right out of the freezer - barely defrosted - Roger is wrapped in warm blankets.

Here's what good T-cells look like as they are going in.   Now we just want to see them get to work!
