CAR-T collection complete but back in the hospital

Three days inpatient and CAR-T collection is done. Naaman’s numbers were lower than they wanted by Monday, but the team felt proceeding with collection was more important than the risk of waiting.

Somehow he was in pretty good spirits until Wednesday when he had extra uncomfortable jobs to do, like removing the big line at bedside and de-accessing/re-accessing his port. Here is what it looks like, intentionally not a good view of the line in his neck (for those faint of heart)!
