Wow. This is the first real-life example I've heard of the potential of stem cells. I keep wistfully hoping that somebody will find that stem cells can cure some of MY problems (she said selfishly)
@PeggyC, we have a 3 yr old friend who was diagnosed 2 months ago with neuroblastoma. They did a stem cell harvest last week and plan to transplant in the near future. Hoping as hard as I can that it works.

Heh. I just feel like chatting. I had thanksgiving meal wit my daughter and my two grandkids last night because she is working crazy hours and having friendsgiving with her friends on Thanksgiving. I will be with my youngest son, new wife and family on thanksgiving. Daughter's youngest son will also be there.
Older son is spending Thanksgiving with his girlfriend.
I just didn't grow up like this. Youngest son's wife has issues with my daughter and she is excluded from thanksgiving. It doesn't break my daughter's heart but it breaks mine.

OOTG, our daughter has not spoken to us since our son's funeral in May. I didn't grow up like this either and it is heartbreaking.
I haven't come back to this blog in a LONG time. But just now I got WONDERFUL news. My son went through a bone marrow transplant of his own stem cells the end of last February. Hospital stay two weeks and has been home with his family cautiously waiting for his immune system to build up again. Using gloves and face mask if he ventured out, not eating any raw foods.
Sean just called when he got back from the Drs today. No more face mask! No more gloves! All of his blood work is normal and he can consider himself cancer free and in total remission!
Oh, that is so good to hear. Seems like so much news has been bad lately, so it's all the more wonderful to hear about someone who is doing really well!!!
Now I really want the emoticons back so I can applaud properly.
Here you go Peggyc,
Well my own emoticons from iPad didn't print either. No worries. I feel your joy and you feel mine!
