Well, it's complete. Both Reyna and Kenneth are asleep tonight after LP implantation this afternoon. The details are:
Reyna had 20 vials of bone marrow removed. Then implanted 5.5 ml BMC solution containing 8,167,500 CD 34 cells with a Vitality of 80%.
Kenneth Had 7 vials of bone marrow removed. Then implanted 4.0 ml BMC solution (high concentration) containing 7,180,000 CD 34 cells with a vitality of 71.6%.
Ideal Vitality that the center shoots for is 80% +. Minimum cells that they will put back is close to 2 million.
Reyna had some discomfort of back pain this evening, but now is ok. Kenneth acted as if nothing happened till the evening with very little discomfort. Other than that, a few days of relaxation with hopes they feel good in the morning, then off to the airport for our return home to Colorado.
Still very pleased and impressed with Xcell. Earlier concern we had was that Xcell did not return as much cells. Not the case. They put in what they get from the bone marrow..
The whole process from start (application) to finish (implanted cells) was great. Last step is for the driver to pick us up and take us to the airport.
Now its up to therapies and the ol' mighty. And the Cells to do their magic of course..
