Today is the day

Well we have been home for over a month and it still doesnt seem long enough. We go in today and get settled and start on fluids as well as a slow continual heprin drip. Then tomorrow we start chemo for a week then April 8th or 9th is the day of transplant.
Jasons liver is still elevated so we are doing reduced intensity chemo and a stem cell transplant.
We are hoping that the Tcells in the transplant kill any remaining Leukemia that the chemo didnt get.

We did find out an interesting fact about Jasons donor. She is from Europe!!! Jason is so special we had to look world wide to find the right person :)

I will keep everyone posted on his progress. He is strong and i have no doubt in my mind he will be ok just getting through this is all so hard. You have no idea how i feel inside. My whole world is turned upside down. I just know when we land again we will be even better off than we are today!

We continue to be inspired by Jason's strength and yours. Fighting this same battle as we did with Jesse is nothing that any parent wants to go through, but amazingly through the grace of God, we get through everyday.
Please know that we are in continuous prayer for Jason's full recovery and for the family to have the peace that passes understanding. We read every post, sometimes we laugh "Jason running to your couch" to give you a hug. And crying when we read that he relapsed. I hope we never have to hear that for Jesse.
