We were told that with the marrow transplant, you get less graph versus host disease and with the stem-cells, they adapt to the body easier. My husband was supposed to get the marrow, but the donor could not be put under because of health reasons, so they had to take it from the peripheal blood.
I don't know if you have heard of "caring bridge" yet, but it's a website where you can post a journal of what someone is going through who is sick to keep friends and family informed on a daily basis. I just made one for my husband and it's so much easier than having to call or text everyone when his condition changes. People can also post little statements to him on there. Just wanted to pass it along to you because it has been a great help for us.

Enjoy your weekend - it's supposed to be beautiful
