A Slow Drip

Alex is sensitive to the few white blood cells in the marrow, so, we are doing the less than three ounces (76 mls) of this life saving liquid extreamly slowly. He started to have a reaction (sweats, gaging, swolen throat and tongue), so the nurses, who are prepared with all sorts of medications, up to and including Epinepherin, are watching over him, and manually controlling the drip.

He is only getting 1/2 of the harvested marrow, so we have extra frozen in case he needs more later. So amazing...
