Twist of fate
I guess we have been given another opportunity to fast and pray for a miracle. Today Van went to the hospital for a battery of tests to make sure he was ready physically for the transplant. (See picture - 21 vials of blood) Everything was going well, until we met with our Coordinator. She had just found out this morning that some things have been detected in our donor’s blood and it will have to go for further testing and may possibly disqualify him as a donor. So the transplant has been postponed indefinitely. We do have a Plan B but it entails using a 9 out of 10 match, which will cause a lot more problems after transplant.
They took another bone marrow biopsy today to see if Van has leukemia in his marrow right now. This will help the Doctor’s determine if they will start another round of Chemo while waiting for a future transplant. So, all our appointments have been cancelled for the next two weeks while we wait and pray for a good donor.
You continue to be in our hearts and in our prayers. Thank you for your faith and your strength in the Lord!

When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window! Maybe the window is in the next room. You are both in our prayers!
