Debbie came to the hospital this morning at 7am so that the doctors could drain just enough of her blood and bone marrow for Alexis. 1.2 liters later.
By the time Alexis and I had arrived at the clinic, she was coming off the anesthetic. To say the least, Debbie was our early morning entertainment--laughter, smiles and sunshine filled the room making for a beautiful way to start the day. The energy in the room was one of excitement and bravery--Debbie was about to give back to Alexis what she had given her 27 years ago.
That alone is an experience that I am having trouble describing. The way I see it, it's as if Debbie was giving birth to Alexis again.or perhaps re-birth. Time can only tell.
