Deep Appreciation

Laurence had a break from doctor visits for the last couple of days. He is appreciating a few days of rest before appointments start back on Monday.

Some days the process feels very challenging and it is a blessing to know that there are prayers being said around the country. Thank you so much!

A Match!

Paula's test results came back and she is a match! Praise God! The doctors are proceeding with planning for Laurence's bone marrow transplant.

The next few weeks are filled with labs, doctor visits and tests. Laurence will undergo a battery of tests to ensure he is physically capable of undergoing a transplant. Laurence had a bone marrow biopsy today and is resting. As you can imagine, the process is intense and is mentally and physically exhausting.

I will keep you posted on his progress. If you have specific questions, please direct them to me. I am doing my best to protect his energy while he prepares for his procedure.

With deep gratitude and love, we so appreciate your continued prayers. Blessings.

Smile

Laurence is doing well. I was away on a short vacation so he had a very quiet week:) He visits the clinic at least twice a week to get his blood checked. Today he is also seeing his oncologist.

Time for a smile...grandkids having fun.

Paula's Visit

We're having a great weekend visiting with Laurence's sister Paula. She is currently living and working in China and it has been so interesting to hear her stories of life in Shanghai. The weather cooperated and we were able to fit in some sightseeing.

Paula went to the clinic on Friday for her blood test to see if she is a bone marrow match for Laurence. The results will be available in about 10 days.

Laurence's health has been stable. He is scheduled for chemo again later in the month.

Thanks for your continued good thoughts and prayers.

Happy Easter

Thank you for your prayers, loving thoughts and gracious gifts. May the blessings of Christ's love be with you on Easter and always.

Grateful

Laurence continues to visit the clinic several days a week to have his blood checked. He had a blood transfusion one day and received platelets a couple different times. We are so grateful to our friend Zachary and his willingness to help get Laurence back and forth to the clinic.

No news on a donor. Thanks for your continued prayers.
Blessings.
