First of all, thank you for the many calls, emails, and
posts checking up on the status of my donor. I just got off the phone with my transplant coordinator and
she said that she did not get a
notification of him not showing up
for his info session, so that basically means that no news is good news!
She also learned that he is not in Europe after all.
His donor # begins with a number typical of those from Europe. However, he is from a different registry
and is actually in the US, which makes all of this much simpler and easier to
get the stem cells from him to me.
However, it messes with my and Paul’s plan to travel to Europe in the
next year or two to take this guy to dinner! I guess we’ll just have to swing by his state on the
way. :)
If all is going according to plan, he should be getting his
physical today, and Susan (my coordinator) should be able to offer some
projected dates of transplant within the next few days.
Spring, and especially Easter, is the celebration of new
life. How amazingly appropriate for God to
time this accordingly! :)
We ask for and cherish your continued prayers for our
proposed US M-47 donor. We pray that he would be blessed for
the offering of life-generating stem cells. Please continue to pray with us as we wait and prepare for
the next leg of the journey.
