There was one last thing Karl and Evan had to do before heading home for Grandma's funeral - the transplant! Karl needed to collect 5 million stem-cells to pass over to Evan, but he was able to come through with an extra million, just for good measure.
Karl was hooked up to his machine (I don't know what it's called other than "loud") for about 5 or 6 hours. Then, his cells were whisked away to St. Paul for a few tests and who knows what else, and then 2 hours later, shipped back to Evan's room in Minneapolis. The transplant took about 30 - 45 minutes.
All in a day's work.
