On Monday my dad had an appointment with his transplant doctor and he got more great news!!
He will have his transplant this month on either the 23rd or the 31st depending on when the donor can arrive. I am sure that next week he will have it scheduled!
He is feeling much better, is walking "everywhere" according to my mom.
Yesterday she called me when they were at the grocery store and she said that he was walking and pushing the cart and not in one of those skooters like he has been in the past!
What an accomplishment. I am going to visit them for the weekend and am looking forward to it!
I will post more details as they come available on his transplant.
PLEASE continue to pray for him - pray for his donor to have a safe journey and transplant procedure, pray for his doctors to have the wisdom to do what is right for my dad, pray for my mom to continue to have patience, rest and comfort in the Lord, pray for my dad's body to not reject the new bone marrow, for no side effects from the medications, for him to be free of any infections or viruses while in isolation (and afterwards), for his body to function as it has been (it has been very strong and has withstood A LOT), for his mind and spirit to remain focused on a positive outcome from this process and for comfort and peace for my dad while he endures this very long and risky procedure.
God bless all of you, thanks for caring and praying!
