We've met with the doctors and, to be frank - we need a miracle. The leukemia is back & very aggressive. The decision we are facing (I guess, I should say, Mitch is facing) is what to do now. The only treatment option they are suggesting is to move toward a haplo-identical transplant. The cord blood transplant that was part of the original plan is not strong enough to combat the disease. Charese & Sam are (at this point) potential donors. Or, Mitch could decide to fore go further treatment and go home. The transplant is considered very risky because of his health status.
As Mitch said, "We're not grieving, yet." We're still clinging to the Lord and seeking a miracle. We know He "is able to far more than all we ask or imagine" - and we can imagine pretty big stuff.
Thanks for your continued prayers.

praying hard. sending love your way!!!
Be strong. Ask the doctors to consult with the Hutch or MDA and see if they have any ideas on getting things under control. There are lots of new ideas about transplants, that the big centers are trying out that might help.

I know this is a tough time with tough decisions - let the Lord direct you. Loving you and praying...
Hi Brother,
Just wanted to let you know I love you. Can't imagine how you are feeling, probably lots of emotions...it was encouraging to see your smiles over skype yesterday. We will come see you as soon as we hear from the docs what the plan is. My brothers and parents are praying for you, too. They send love. Well, I should be doing "work". Talk to you soon, CJ
Thinking of you and your beautiful bride often, and praying every time you guys pop into my head. Love you both!
