Childhood Cancer . Childhood Leukemia
The pheresis just finished. BJ did great as always, even though they had a little trouble getting into his veins this morning. It was 16 gauge needles…very big. It hurt, but he breathed through it and stared into my eyes like he usually does when he’s nervous about something. It has taken 4 hours to do this process of collecting his white blood cells. No getting up, no moving arms for 4 hours. He’s awesome. Just tired. I’ll post more later.
Pheresis of White Blood Cells

BJ is so relieved that the pheresis is done. It was a long day, as we got there at 8am and the pheresis was finally finished at 4pm. His arms are sore but he is doing good, just very tired. He was worried about what it would feel like, and didn’t sleep well last night. He was extremely nervous about the needle sticks and sitting there for 4 hours like that. The build up alone is exhausting, and then to spend the day with tubes in your arms, and being as still as possible was just over the top. Of course he isn’t complaining about anything. He just says he is glad that part is done.
