I sent an email to the Bone Marrow Case Manager today, because I was concerned that Trish would have to do all these pre-eval tests a seocnd time if the donor picked a date at the end of the window....That's the last thing we would have needed -- both for wear and tear on Trish and helping deplete our insurance.....
Anyway, after complimenting me for thinking ahead and offering me a job because I paid good attention to detail.....She sent me another quick email...She just heard from the NMDP and -- drum roll please -- we have a date!
Trish's new best friend - the donor who we won't know for at least a year -- will have his marrow harvested on July 10 -- this means that Trish's transplant will occur on July 10 or 11th. It also means that she will be admitted for prep and chemo on July 4th.
I am praying and crying and typing and can't wait to drive back to Aunt Mary's to hug Trish (I'm working at our Baltimore office today). Trish may get almost two weeks home after the tests are done. This is exciting stuff folks.....Thank each and everyone of you for your prayers, support (moral and financial), and the good cheer that will be needed to get Trish through the days ahead.

Dear Trish,
I just found out about your health condition yesterday and want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. I am also going to put you on my church's pray chain. I know you have had a lot of prayer to carry you this far, but we are going to take you over the top to a full and complete recovery. God is good and knows exactly what all of your needs are. A heartfelt Hug and much love come your way.
