I heard from the bone marrow coordinator late on Wednesday evening!! They were able to get in touch with the fourth donor AND the donor can work in our time frame........PROVIDING the donor gets medical clearance. That is where you all come in we need this donor to get medical clearance, we need to get to transplant. We just had her counts done again on Thursday and they are low, but not much lower than they have been running. Her platelets were 20 and now are 18 her hemoglobin was 6.0 and is now 5.7. They do not want to give her any blood products till we get to transplant, so please help us and join in the prayer chain that this donor gets medical clearance!
If the donor gets the clearance, which we won't find out 100% till May 5th, we will be leaving here on May 7th or 8th to be to Minneapolis for the 10th, which will be when she will start work up week. Transplant it self is scheduled for May 27th, and if every thing goes smoothly and according to plan our 100 days will be on Sept 4th (labor day weekend!!) Then hopefully and prayerfully we will be coming home that week!! I want this to all work out, but at the same time I want it all to slow down. I guess that is so weird....I want her to get this transplant be fore she gets any sicker or weaker and yet I have so much to do that I'm afraid I won't be prepared for it. I know I am just crazy. This week will also be the first week that Marshall has been away from us in a whole week! He is going with our church's youth choir to Orlando to serve and sing in a few places there and then three afternoons they will be going to Disney World. I know he'll be just fine, but he is still my oldest baby boy!!

Prayers please?!
Once again I am asking for prayers!! I just talked to the Bone Marrow donor coordinator at the Uof M. They are on their 4th donor for Amelia. Please pray that this donor is the charm!! I know they say the third one is a charm, but in this case we NEED it to be the fourth. The first two were unavailable and the third one they could not get in touch with, so this is where we are with this. Please pray that the 4th donor is available and can be available for mid May for her transplant! We really need this to work out.
I'm trying to understand God in all of this. I just don't understand why we keep hitting road blocks a long the way. I want to see the positive in this and I want to put all my trust and faith in Him, it's just that I am one who likes to be in control and know what is going on. I'm a planner not a spur of the moment kinda person.
I know that everything happens for a reason and everything happens in God timing and at the time he chooses, I know that and I believe that...it's just trying to let go and let this take place is hard...
Maybe God is testing me? I just want to get there and get this started and get my baby better and get back home so we can move on to be a "normal" family again...as a mom, I am torn in so many directions!!!
Just please continue to pray for her!
Blessings,
