For those of you who don't know a bone marrow transplant can be as exciting as getting fluids in an IV bag. Some of you may think she is in surgery and it is this delicate dance of knifery in a surgeons hand. I'm sorry to disappoint but this is far from the case.
LPCH likes to think of this as Becky's birthday as she is getting new life. So drop a quick comment below and wish her a happy birthday :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Becky!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little embarrassed for thinking this was going to be surgery... even AFTER reading your mom's description of the process :P
But the whole process seems pretty cool. Think of all the little stem cells circulating through your veins just looking for a home in one of your bones.
Happy Birthday my dear! Miss you tons and have been praying for you a lot, specially today! I am a dweeb but I got excited to see that your blood type is the same as mine...A+ baby!!! Definitely look forward to seeing you soon.
ReplyDeleteProud of you! Keep up your reliance on God and your husband! We're all behind you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Becky! wow 3 birthdays! physical, spiritual, and bone marrow birthdays! I love it! Can't wait to visit you, you're in my prayers! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Becky! happy A+ too! Your body is working hard to figure out it should be very happy....and you have to do (as you have) all you can to help it. Keep believing and loving....and thankful for Zack and your Mom. Love is an amazing cure too. Love you, Aunt D and Unk L
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Becky!! It has been a while, I have not seen you since 6th grade :) You are in my thoughts.

Happy brithday my popcorn and peanut butter snickers buddy. My blood type is A+ as well. Maybe that is why we have so much in common. :) stay strong.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes everyone!! The transplant went really well yesterday; it was totally uneventful, which is exactly what they hope for.
ReplyDeleteWendy and Shannon, now I understand our inexplicable connection. Wendy, we have our movie preferences/scrapbooking skills, etc. and Shannon, we have our popcorn/peanut butter obsession/Seattle days, and so forth. All because I was destined to be A+...it all makes sense now...
Love you guys :)
Happy Birthday Becky...thinking of you a ton and hope all is going well. Let me know if you need anything at all!
ReplyDeleteok I must be an A+ plus too then, I need to figure it out now! Happy Birthday Becky!!! I am so happy you are doing well ;D
ReplyDeleteI hope you are Kathy, that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear the procedure went well!
ReplyDeleteAs an added bonus, with the new A+ blood, maybe you'll have better luck mastering puppets! ;)
