It's a GO!

At 3:50 pm, Christi began receiving the most precious gift that she has ever had or will ever receive. Our family surrounded her and prayed with her, and then Alana, her nurse, hung the bag, and connected it to her PICC line in her right arm. Slowly, the millions of stem cells began their journey into her body where they will miraculously find their way into her bones and attach themselves. The whole process will take only an hour. Over the next 8-28days, these cells will divide and, God willing, Christi will be cured of this horrible disease.I cannot adequately describe this experience.
