The Heaps Family Heros.... CONTINUED!
Mom, Jill attending to sister donor Jacqueline
Daddy, Matt attending to Emily our dear transplant recipient!Today was the big day where Jacqueline gave the much needed bone marrow to her sister Emily for the second time. Today was Emily's Bone Marrow birthday.
I wasn't able to be there at the hospital today but throught the updates it sounds as though everything went smoothly and the troopers made it through.
Jacqueline had 40-50 holes drilled on either side of her back
to get her bone marrow out and then they put it in a machine and then into an IV looking bag
and it goes into Emily on a drip. Sounds like all your prayers today for a smooth go of things were answered!

Sounds like all your prayers today for a smooth go of things were answered! On their blog they said, "As we were in Emily's hospital room tending to two daughters that were at the time feeling very very sick, someone asked Thomas, "So Thomas, how are you doing?". He replied back with a smile on his face and a shrug of the shoulders, "Well, a lot better than my sisters...". 
We love you Heaps! Thanks for being so brave and giving Emily a new lease on life. All my readers prayers are with you still and always!
