We are a few hours into stem cell collection, and soon they’ll begin counting to see if we’ve gathered enough. Since the process takes several hours, they’ll keep collecting while counting to make sure we reach our goal.

Please keep praying that we collect enough today so we can go home tonight, have this temporary port removed, and that Erma stays calm. She’s starting to get restless and a little frustrated being hooked up to the machine.

Thank you, God, for child life therapists, service dogs, and for this process that brings us one step closer to our miracle healing.
