Well........it is beginning to feel a little bit like Ground Hog Day!!! Machine is going! We are waiting for Doctor to advise whether or not after tomorrow we should keep going! The magic number we want is 20 million! Today's estimate is about 1.5 - 3 million. After today he may be close to 10 million. They will transplant 5 million but want the reserve for future transplants. The chemo they will give him before the transplant will make it impossible to ever harvest again so the more they can get now the better. I am praying the estimate is low and we see a better result! Bill's skin is extremely thin and sensitive from all the chemo drugs. When changing the dressing on his neck today the skin ripped and now he has a very sore looking wound. We keep being reminded, by seeing others here, as difficult as things are for him they could be much worse! I will post the actual numbers later!

p.s. The ipad that I thought was a big mistake is now getting well used! He loves listening to the music Molly put on it and he is becoming fond of solitaire and angry birds. I am still working on getting him to play Words with Friends!
