Ryan has been feeling pretty tired the last couple of days. He called the doctor's office yesterday to see if he should go get his blood drawn. They called at 4:30 and said that yes, he should get blood drawn. So, he had to run to Greenville before they closed to get his blood drawn. His white count is low again and so he had to get a neupogen shot. We had some here so I was able to give that to him. He's been sleeping most of the morning already.
Ryan will be admitted at Ohio State on the 9th of March and will receive chemo and radiation to prepare him for his transplant the following week, March 16th. He will then be in the hospital for a few more weeks until his body shows that he's accepting the marrow and beginning to make cells on his own.
We have 2 appointments there next week and 1 more the following week where we'll find out more details about the whole process.
We know that God is guiding everything, but some days it seems tougher than others to trust that everything will work out for the good.

Check out Ryan's school email; I have forwarded an email about a $75 fuel card from the American Cancer Society for patients to use while receiving treatment.

We are praying for you guys regularly April. I got to meet Ryan's "match" yesterday when I was taking the spaghetti sauce to Eva's freezer. His smile and mannerisms instantly reminded me of Ryan. There is no denying they are brothers.
