HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWN

Well today is the big day. Dawn will recieve her stemcells at 11:30 A.M. This process should take an hour for just the cells but about 6 hours overall for hydration and premedications. DMSO is a chemical used to freeze her stemcells and is the main cause of side effects such as nausea and wierd tickling feeling in the throat. They say if she smells orange slices and sucks on peppermint candies during the infusion will help the discomfort from the DMSO. I will try to put some pictures up later showing all the stuff they are doing..
