Hey everybody just a quick update on dad's appointment in Iowa City today. Unfortunatly none of dad's siblings were matches. The doctor seems very confident that they should find a match through the donor list though. They will probably not do the transplant for a couple of months now though so they can find the closest match. They will also be trying to get dad as healthy as they can during this time. The good news is that dad's platelets are up in the normal range now. We really don't know what they will do once he is off the medicine though, so they are going to continue his treatment for the platelets for a few more weeks and then hopefully the count will not go back down. Well that's all I really know for now! Will keep you posted thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear that none of his siblings were matches. :( We will pray that another match will be found soon. Big hugs and lots of prayers...
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm really disappointed that I wasn't able to help you out as a donor. It would have been really nice for you to be able to count on me, for a change, rather than me needing you:)
ReplyDeleteKeep up your positive attitude. That is better than any medicine that they could give you! This Hall family is pretty tough and I know we are going to beat this thing!!! Stay strong and know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Julie
Some other door will open for a match, we all will keep the Faith. Stay strong, our love,
