Katrina here; we're all a little drained (pun intended) but here is a quick update...

At about 7 pm yesterday, Elizabeth received my stem cells rather uneventfully with M & D, Erica, Charlie and me hovering with good vibes. Exhausted, I soon needed to get home to my own bed. Apparently, the next excitement came at about 1 AM when Elizabeth experienced a tension headache--if you know our family, you know these things are debilitating complete with vomitting, etc... There was some confusion about how to treat it, so Elizabeth called the gang: Erica and Drew picked up Mom and brought her to the hospital where they worked the normal magic and by 3:30 Elizabeth was resting and Mom was able to get back to the hotel. Long night after a long day....

I talked to Mom briefly this morning and then she went back to bed. Now we are letting Elizabeth and Mom rest; so try to refrain from calling either of them for the time being---leave your love here. Erica, on the other hand is off to class. These are some strong ladies.

The plan remains as before: providing Elizabeth's doctor feels she is recovering okay, she will be discharged to Erica's Recoup facility on Saturday. More info on the recoup process as it becomes available.

Thanks for all the awesome comments yesterday; it was a marathon of treatment, blogging and support from all around. May God bless you all. We certainly have been.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...
that's the big sigh of relief we're all feeling knowing EJ's infusion of Katrina's stem cells went so well. :)

Katrina heard you "out performed" in the stem cell category! You go girl!

OK, now stem cells do your thing and make EJ healthy!

Love to all.

Health & blessings,
Susan

What a remarkable family - and extended family. As the radical preacher to whom Charles referred - well, that's a heckova lot better than "pastor disaster." Charlie, be careful on the MTA (you have to be of a certain age to understand that note of caution). Elizabeth ... I'll see you in about ten days. And to all the Bauerleins (and that wonderful extended family): God bless you You have the thoughts and prayers of a wide community! Pastor
