Tuesday Harvesting OK

Well Tuesday 7am Stefan was at the Blood Center . Had just a little delay, they took blood first then told him he needed Platelets before harvesting was to start. Well they needed to crossmatch him and a Doctor had to see him before giving/ordering the Platelets. Okay got Platelets then started the harvesting, but wait Platelets are down again. So they stopped the harvesting and gave more Platelets again. Restarted harvesting at 1:30pm. Was told he would be connected today till at least 4:30 5:00 pm. I brought him some lunch from cafeteria when I came to get him. I dropped him off this morning and went to work downtown. Harvesting will NOT be done today all of it, Stefan will have to come back again Wednesday 7a.m. in the morning to continue harvesting stem cells. Dr. Ison the Infectious Disease Doctor stopped by and talked to him. Stefan has 5 -I.V. tubes connected to him at this moment for all the fluids going In and coming Out. He is sitting in a recliner chair with headphones on and watching TV. Catnapping in between also. It is now 2:45 pm and two more hours to go here.
