All done (graphic) last vial

Kind of icky for us non-medical types. But as you can see all the vials filled now, and are being taken away to a special lab, where it's cleaned up and the stem cells are extracted from the marrow....and counted. Best hope is to have appx 2 million stem cells in the solution for the lumbar puncture on Wednesday (10/21). We are told that it only takes a few stems cells if they are true warriors, but we think they don't really know. Eddie says there are force in numbers, so the higher the count the better. The fellow from Canada had 500K, but they use what you have.
