Good morning. Today is the long awaited day for John's (my mom's youngest brother) stem cell harvesting to occur. This past week he has been having daily injections to boast his stem cell counts. These injections have caused him to be fairly uncomfortable and have caused some bone pain. Today he will be donating his bone marrow which will be a long day for him. He will be sitting in a chair for 8 hours and is not allowed to leave the chair. Thankfully Amanda is able to sit with him and keep him company! Mom is hoping to spend some time with him as well if she is feeling up to it. If they are able to harvest enough cells today he may not need to come back tomorrow for more harvesting.
Please keep John and Amanda in your prayers today. I am sure it will be a long and tiring day for them.
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
So glad to hear that the end of your Mom's chemo treatments are in sight. We will definitely continue to pray for your Mom, all of you, John and Amanda and their family. Praying for complete healing. Ps. 46:10 Be still and know that I am God!

Thankyou Megan for keeping us posted on your Mom's treatments and now also for John as he donates his bone marrow for his sister. We will pray for the presence and peace of God to be with your Mom, John and the family during this difficult time and more so for complete healing. Hang in there!
