Day -2 (10/20/16)

Standard

Well the day is here to harvest my stem cells.  Got to the clinic around 10:30am and got hooked up to the machines and at 11:30 my readings were 100/70bp and 36.8C , pulse ox of 94.  Was done by 1:30pmreceived_10207515521913494

The blood with the cells go out and just the blood returns. Chriss took me to a restaurant and we had the special. He said it was the way Mexicans eat.  We had a soup, then a plate of rice, then a plate of chicken with cheese & bell peppers(too bad you weren’t here to eat them Mom cause yes I picked them off)

We got back to the clinic about 3:30 pm and Dr Ruiz came in and gave us our readings and we all had enough seem cells harvested!  They called me the queen cause I had the most of 538 million. I told them it was probably the weight but anyway we don’t have to do it again!
