The transfer of 5 million of Mark's stem cells into Jeff's body went off without a hitch. He was a bit nervous, and felt a little strange as the doc pushed the cells through his central line, but overall the process of transplantation was quite anti-climactic.
Over the next several days, Jeff's blood counts will continue to drop, and preventing infection will be top priority. He'll also begin to feel some of the residual effects of the monster doses of chemo that he received last week.

I think that Mark's cells are already making a difference in Jeff. After 4 days of no appetite, Jeff ate a full meal today! Just ask Chloe or Colby; Mark has never missed a meal yet!
