Today is the Day to Pray

It's always the squeamish one

My brother, Bro #1, the one who was here taking care of me is so far at the intermediate level for my bone marrow match.

The BMT Coordinator is pretty dang sure that he is going to be my match. I will know 100% in 3-4 days.

Pray that he is. One out of six. And he's the squeamish one.

Prayers, well wishes, are all welcome today and until I know for sure. I'm scared but this makes me have goosebumps! I'm giddy, excited, crying, freaking out, amazed, all rolled into one. My heart feels like it is going to explode.

Merry Christmas to me.

Now my brother said I have to be his slave. Since he saw it on the Brady Bunch and everything.

Great news, Deb! Kick this cancer's ass and torment squeamish brother at the same time!

Like that "be my slave" thing ever worked on the Brady Bunch.

Excellent news, Deb. Sis #1 is telling the world, so I came over to help celebrate the good news (technically, "intermediate" good news) with fireworks and balloons.

Okay, you have to imagine the fireworks and balloons, but the good feelings are right here, right now!

long time lurker and i rooting for you. life is funny how the BMT donor usually is 100%willing but deep inside is praying that another sibling(s) are a better and much healthy match.
Being from a big family is awsome, now when he is picked he can tell everyone he is the #1.faamily get togethers are going to focus around the both of you.
best of luck and have a healthy holiday
I hope the Christmas Marrow comes early this year for you
Peace and a Healthy Holiday to you and your family

all appendages crossed for you, deb. if your ears were burning today, don't worry, it's not the dracula blood -- i was talking about you to my therapist and saying that you were a sassy single mom. just in case you were starting to feel defined by the cancer, you're not.

Deb, you are, as ever, in my thoughts.

I'm afraid to say it...but if he saw it on Brady Bunch, well then, it must be legit.

Here's to family and happiness and health and balloons and flowers and kittens and other happy things!

not only am I praying for you - but I've also got my fingers, toes and knitting needles crossed.

That slave thing will get old after you've spit in his soup for the 100th time ;)
