Yet another good day. Joe had his semiweekly blood draw today. The results were better than ever! We were just so thrilled. We still need people to come out for the bone marrow drive on Sunday though! The best case scenario is for Joe to be in remission when he gets his bone marrow transplant. However, even if his perfect match is found tomorrow...or Sunday (!) all the logistics and procedures that need to take place would put the transplant 6-8 weeks from now. He's pretty darn close to remission...but that does not mean cured. We are hoping and praying though that his counts continue to stay high until transplant time. Then he would be able to go back to enjoying some of the things we've taken for granted in the past, without fear.
Cammy Lee is coming to Pittsburgh on Saturday, and the drive will be on Sunday. We are really praying that all of these drives being held in honor of Joe will help in finding him and many others a donor.
We got news that more people have donated vacation time. Joe and I tear up...and sometimes cry (happy, thankful tears!) thinking about how generous people are. It just doesn't get old. It continues to be overwhelming, and we continue to feel far more blessed than we know we deserve.
