Stem Cell Collection is a GO!

Caroline's counts were up today, and she is scheduled to move forward with the stem cell collection process tomorrow.  Thank you for all of the prayers for high counts!  Her red blood cell counts were actually high enough that she didn't need the additional blood transfusion today during clinic...she just needed platelets.

Vanderbilt has amazing "Child Life Specialists" that were able to help prepare Caroline for the procedure tomorrow (pics below).  She was able to get an overview of the process, why it's so important for her treatment, and what everything will look like.  Caroline does really well knowing what to expect, so we're extra thankful that this team is able to help her better understand everything.

PVC (peripheral venous catheter) surgery is scheduled for 9am tomorrow, followed by recovery, hospital room admission, and then apheresis.  We are expecting to have to spend the night, but won't know until tomorrow.





Thanks for the continued prayers, gift cards, meals, donations, love and support!

  3. Before summer break, Sikkim 12th Class Books 2023 are helpful for students to understand since every topic is written in simple language and with diagrams. English, Nepali, Sikkimese, and Lepcha arts, commerce, and sciences. Gurung, Limbu, Magar, Mukhia, Newari, Rai, Sherpa, Sikkim 12th Textbook and Tamang are other official languages. Subject-specific books feature practise problems and instructive examples to help students develop their conceptual understanding. Students in Sikkim's 12th grade can better prepare if they are aware of the study guide. For quarterly, consult the Sikkim Board 12th Class Book of 2023.
