So today we got the news we've been waiting for. We got word that my bone marrow match is willing and able to be a donor!! From this point things will move a little fast. I will re-enter the hospital on May 4 to start a week of both chemo and radiation in order to wipe out my bone marrow and then May 12 will be the big day of the transplant. I will be in the hospital at least 30 days after the transplant occurs.

We praise God for having such a quick and easy time finding a donor. It doesn't happen this way for everyone and this is why it is important to join the National Donor Registry.

    Hip, Hip, Hooray, now we're on the way....to that long awaited transplant so that you can be healed of that terrible leukemia. You have done so well and beaten many odds, I know this is going to be easier than predicted also. You just hang in there, Michael will be right there with you, and together you can do it!!! I love you both and am so proud of you.
    You go, girl! Grandma

    Amy, This is fabulous news but I guess you know that. I know that everyone who loves you feels ecstatic. I hope the hospital plans continue nurturing these positive feelings.
