Hoping for a Match

Big day today! Cancel the order on more platelets! 86 the platelets! Brenan has enough platelets right now, and for before and after his bone marrow biopsy tomorrow.

Also, he is not neutropenic! Which means, bring on the visitors! If you are free to see Brenan, the gloves come off. But please don't hit Brenan, that's my job. Gloves and masks are no longer required when you are in the room and Brenan is no longer in lock down.

Today is also when I get tested to see if I'm a bone marrow match for Brenan. So everyone send extra good thoughts our way, cross your fingers, say a little prayer, put on your rally cap, dance a jig, or whatever else you can think of so the ball stays in our court.

More information coming about the contribution account we opened for Brenan, so that when the time comes, you can use your donation as a tax deduction.

Good Morning Brenan ~ today is the big day, we are sending all our prayers to you from Minnesota. It was great talking with you yesterday, stay strong. Remember we are looking forward to the big celebration when you've beat this thing.

Wow! That is some really great news! I wish I could come over and visit you Brenan.

Elisabeth, how did your bone marrow test go? And, how does that work? Are siblings usually a match and what do they do to see if you are a match? I'm curious about the process.

Also, I'll say a prayer while dancing a jig!
