...WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY !!!!!

.....Sorry for the late update but it has been a long, wonderful day !! It started at 4am for some of us !! Joanna went in about 5:30 and they got a little bit of a late start but everything went great with her and Aubrey !! She was actually "glowing" and had a smile on her face when we met up with her in recovery. They were able to do their first ever pregnant donor harvest with great care and concern and speed ! Dr.P walked out of the surgery with his cooler with Jo's bone marrow inside and said they were able to get all they needed and that Jo did great ! She was able to be dismissed around 1pm and we put her in a wheelchair and headed to Jared's room where they had just hung the bag of bone marrow ! It was a awesome moment for all of us !! This has been a long day coming and it makes you very thankful for the people who do all this medical research !!! Jared's day has not been so great, he is just feeling funky but he did get up and get a walk in today ! We will have more details later but just wanted to let you know we are rejoicing at the Water's today !!! The Fort Worth Start-Telegram will be running an article on Jo/Jared and registering to be a donor on Saturday for those of you who are local.
Thanks again and again for all the prayers and support !!!
