The infusion was a success today! They ran them in over 20 or 30 minutes and it was done! There were no side effects with the infusion so it was a breeze. Her counts will continue to drop until my cells kick in and do their thing which will be about 2weeks from now. The docs will continue to monitor her condition over the next couple of weeks to stay ahead of GVHD. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. Here are some pics:

Going in!

This is the poster that John and the kids made for me to welcome me home (and the house was clean too!)
I will post daily updates about Kara's progress so stay tuned! :)
