Charmaine is feeling a little more weak now because of the radiation and chemo she had before the transplant. Her doctor still says she's doing better than expected at this point. Her mouth and throat are getting sore from the old cells dying off due to the chemo...the new cells will soon replenish her loss. Her new cells should start to engraft (grow) in about another week. Please pray that engraftment happens as soon as possible.
She is hanging in there and her spirits are still high. She has continued to walk her laps everyday, though it seems to be getting a little harder. She can feel the power of your prayers...so keep it up!

A little info we forgot to share: We peeked at the label on her stem cell bag during the transplant and saw some words in German underneath...so we think that's where her donor is from. We won't know for sure for quite a while.
We are praising God for all He has done already and we're expecting miraculous things in the weeks ahead! Many many prayers are said for you at the Wren house!!
