Today is transport day. George and Clayton are going to ride to Birmingham in the ambulance, and I'm going to drive up with our stuff. I must say his ambulance car seat is an air seat and looks VERY comfy.

His ANC is still 0 so his immune system is essentially non-existent at the time and he is still getting morphine for his sores. They have done blood cultures every day that we have been here and so far only one of the three done the first day have started to grow something- meaning probably a contaminated sample. Going to do one more culture in Birmingham and if that comes back clean on Monday then we'll start prepping for harvest.

**Updated**
We safely made it to Birmingham and have gotten settled. We should know tomorrow if we'll get to harvest on time.
