well Brian got his stem cells. We will see if the picture comes out in the blog. He got two little bags and they looked like dark blood. They came to the room in a styrofoam cooler and one nurse thawed them out while another nurse pushed them. Kathy the occupational therapist came in and got the room ready. She rubbed his feet and she also used an oil called harmony. It was lavendar, sage, vanilla, and I forgot the fourth thing but it had a nice smell. She said the plants are grown by a lady who then extracts their oils and supplies just Baylor. The chaplain came in and blessed the cells which was nice. He had it on green paper with Celtic symbols in honor of st. Patricks day. The verse I liked was:
proverbs 3:8 may divine love and wisdom be healing to your flesh and marrow to your bones.

The dr gave Brian a "birthday" present and card and the unit secretary made Brian a card. I emailed her a few pics and Brian told her a few things he liked. There's the kids, me, John elway and the broncos, a campfire, and a freebirds burrito. So funny. We met a girl here whose dad is a patient here. She's a fellow aggie and her and Brian chitchat alot. He was telling her that's what he was having when he got out of here and that there's a freebirds 6 miles from here. Today she told us she was going and she already had her burrito made in her head. Lol.

Brian's sleeping off his meds. He got flush and a little queasy when the cells went in, but he really did great. Now we just wait for them to work. I'm so proud of him. I can smell the cream corn though. It's pretty strong. Another pt said he never smelled it, Brian tasted it a bit.
