On Wednesday April 7th, 2010 at around 11:00 a.m., Barry got an infusion of stem cells. The event was very anticlimactic. As you can see from the pictures above, the stem cells look very similar to a bag of red blood cells. The mean time to engraftment is about eighteen days so now we just have to wait until Day +18 to see where he is at with his engraftment.
