Birthday--PLUS ONE

When you have a stem cell transplant, like Sandi did yesterday, those treating you refer to the day it happens as your birthday. This is because your body is  basically reset and you have to have your childhood immunizations again because you have a brand new immune system like that of a  newborn baby. Medically everything is tied into the new birthday and counted from that day.

So, today is not Tuesday, but for Sandi today is "Birthday-Plus One."

Sandi is doing great this morning as she has been awake and up for awhile. She is back crocheting and working on her 15th hat in a week and watching TV. Those treating her are amazed at how well she is doing. Hopefully this will keep going.
