You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

After months of preparation the transplant itself seems a little anticlimactic. An infusion of Robert’s stem cells is underway. Divided in two portions, it will take about two hours altogether. The infusion is not too difficult for Roger, but he'll pay his dues over the next couple of weeks.

We don’t know how to even begin to thank Robert for this generous act. Medical science made this miracle possible and Robert has made it happen. He’s our hero.
This is a little gross, so click away from the page if you’re squeamish. After all that effort to collect the good stuff, I felt a need to capture a visual for posterity.

On Thanksgiving eve, you've put it all into perspective for us. So much to be thankful for, and especially for wonderful heroes like Robert.
ReplyDeleteYou're all heroes in my eyes. What a wonderful gift of love and life you are all three sharing!
