WELCOME TO MY WORLD
So my new baby stem cells have finally made it to their new home. It was a quiet and unobtrusive arrival. Just me and Nurse Tara (and for a while a cleaning lady, who I swore took double her normal time, hanging out with her broom and purple plastic bags). I took photos on my phone, to post onto here, but crap signal stops my photostream from working. This is what I know: Baby No. One, born 4 may 2007, St. Louis, Missouri. Baby No. Two, born 1 May 2009 somewhere in Maryland. I hummed lullabys as the blood dripped into my system. Songs that my own mother had sung to me (skye boat song, hush little baby). Also realized too that my transplant date, 11th December, is also the 10th anniversary of the death of mum. That is bizarre, an unbelievable coincidence and a positive connection.

Dear Tessa,
Fantastic - hurrah. its so strange that you know so much about the previous owners of these cells I remember seeing the name and address on a blood transfusion years ago and feeling very grateful to my man from Port Talbot. I hope this little cels are very active and friendly to you and that they start doing their work now. Lots of love to you as you rest and wait.

Some gentle whispering from the Sheffield sidelines today then, hoping not to disturb the baby stem cells.
I am liking the positive connection, sure your Mum will be keeping her beady eye on you! Lots of love as always xx
Hi T
That TBI sounds horrendous, what an ordeal, you have all my sympathy. Good to hear the cells are now in and hopefully happily getting on with their job of giving you back your immune system. So hard to know what to say but thank you for having the strength to keep your fans updated. Much love Jan & Gerald xx
Look forward to your next blogs and the journey to good health

Those little baby cells will be rushing around unable to believe their luck! Hope they settle in well. Was driving across Norfolk yesterday thinking of you - it was like a corny Christmas card - everything covered in thick white frost with bright blue sky and sunshine making it all twinkle.lots of love Lisa xx
We're all with you and thinking of you
Lots of love P
Glad to know they arrived and it all happened (this time) according to schedule! Thinking and thinking and thinking of you. Willing the cells to work magic.
All my love, TM
I keep reading, thinking, praying and keeping you around in my thoughts while doing ordinary things. We just do not realize how ordinary things are good until we read your blog.

Big hug, B.
