Headed Home

Laurence's Mom and sister, Toni headed back home to southern California today. (Of course, they left the one day the sun came out!) It was wonderful to have them in Portland. They were a great support for Paula and Laurence and I were so glad they were here.

Paula is an amazing person. She always knew she would be the match for Laurence and has been so enthusiastic about the process. She went through several days of injections to help build her blood which gave her flu-like symptoms. The port installed in her neck was not very comfortable and removing the port was just plain painful. She never complained but was always willing to do what was needed. She is truly a blessing.

Laurence is taking one day at a time and is doing well as his body adjusts to his new blood cells. Most of his symptoms so far are due to the new medications.

Thanks to all of you who are reading this and including us in your prayers. We are so grateful for your love and support. XOXOXOX
