New month, new moon, new man!

October 1st .. transplant day. All went well. The process was longer than anticipated because not enough cells were collected on the first attempt so Grant had to repeat his apheresis procedure again .  Andrew had one bag of goodies delivered in the morning and the second in the afternoon.  A few pints (no, not beer) on Saturday put the pink back in his cheeks and the skip back in his step. Nothing unexpected as of this morning. Grant heading back over the pond (to Australia) with his suitcase overflowing (he did a little bit of shopping while he was here). Enjoyed a delicious chicken and mushroom dish cooked by an anonymous iron angel and Pat's crumb cake (thank you to both). Thinking of our friend Alison and her family. Her daughter Adrienne lost a long and courageous battle with Hodgkin's disease a year ago.
