This map shows where different ones who read Mitch's blog are located. I thought you'd enjoy seeing it. Thank you all for your interest and your prayers.Mitch seems to have stabilized somewhat today. The initial reports from yesterday's bronchoscopy ruled out some of the more serious infections that were considered a possibility. So, that's encouraging news. Unfortunately, since the definitive diagnosis has not been made - they have not been able to target the infection with the medicine that would be most effective. He is still on broad-spectrum antibiotics. The preferred option would be to know what is the source of the infection and address it specifically.
Also, Mitch will have a bone marrow biopsy today at 1 pm PDT. We're praying that it shows clear - no leukemia cells whatsoever.
He is scheduled to start pre-transplant conditioning next week so it is important for these infections to clear up and for his marrow to be clear. Please continue to pray.
Thanks,
Marlene

The map is very cool! Praying with you of course. I was driving home from work in Boise yesterday and listening to the break through song by tommy walker. That is my prayer for you to break through this sickness...sooner rather than later!
Some news on our end...our house is almost done! They put up all the light/fan fixture we had picked out and laid the carpet today. We are getting really excited! Can't wait for you to come visit! Tonight we had to move out of the place we were staying, so we are at Roger and Ellens for a week for so! They are very kind in hosting us!
Well, just wanted to say hi! love you brother! CJ
