Bone Marrow Transplant- Day Minus 5

Today was John's first day of Chemotherapy; he received through his Hickman line over the period of a few hours. He reacted well with no sickness or nausea. John is doing well both physically and emotionally; he has been able to have time to reflect and have time praying.
It's hard to comprehend that this last year has been the most healthy of his life and and we are choosing to make him sick again with the hope that this will be the cure for the future.

The doctors came to see John today and asked if they could take some of his DNA as they wish to do a research study on John's immune deficiency. They just got some research grants and wish to spend some of it on figuring out exactly what John has and how he got it. We are so excited about what there findings will be and are hopeful that this will help many more people like John to have hope of healing.


Happy new year to you all and Thank you for all your prayers!
