For people's records and the FHL archives here is some marrow transplant information that
Dr. Cottrell provided:
The procedure followed is the same as the one for doing a bone marrow biopsy except

Dr. Cottrell also noted that this is not an emergency procedure because the new marrow
can not produce red blood cells for at least a few days.

Dr. Cottrell has consulted on this before. If needed:
