Nine Out of Ten

It is confirmed.  9/10 match.  Not perfect, but may be good enough.  I am trusting God this is His leading and guidance.  We need to meet with the BMT department.  I have a LOT of questions and concerns that I want to ask and bring up.  This also means, we are going to try to fly out to Children’s Hospital of Texas to get a 2nd consult on the transplant.  It’s unbelievable, at the same time what it’s suppose to be.  My mind is racing with things I need to do, people I need to email, logistics of possibly relocating to the fears of transplant risks. 

Thank you for your prayers.  I have been encouraged beyond words from people close and far, even from people I have never met.  THANK YOU.  Your prayers have been my strength when doubts cloud over me.  Please continue to do so as we make many life-changing decisions for our family.

Please continue to spread the word about bone marrow registry.  This prospect of hope can be given to another family…

Lastly, would you lift up a prayer for Timothy’s health today?  He had a fever today.  He hasn’t had a fever in a long time, since April.  I am hoping it’s just viral and will go away soon.  He was pretty cranky today :(.  Anytime he has a fever, it’s nerve-wracking for Daniel and myself.

Will pray that He may use all the specialists to be thorough in their knowledge/practice and in the way they answer your questions. So sorry that Timothy has a fever today!
