Game Underway

Leah, Freddy, and my mom arrived at 6:30 this morning to the Apheresis Unit (which happens to be down the hall from my room).  Freddy was able to hang out with her for a little while before they got started, and my mom headed down to the really comfy family lounge to rest her eyes.  I was still asleep.  She is now all hooked up and has had some medication to help her sleep (apparently the cells come faster if she is asleep).  We just paid a quick visit....

And now she'll be off to sleep for hopefully the next 4 or so hours, which is how long it is estimated collection will take.
