Update #46

Good Evening,

Several of you have inquired about being tested for bone marrow donation.  Jeff's doctor suggested that you contact your local Red Cross.  She thought that there would be a cost for tissue typing that your insurance company may not pay.  

Things are going very well for Jeff but I'd like you to please add a boy named Josh to your prayers.  Josh, 11 months old, was admitted to Cardinal Glennon the day after Jeff and received the diagnosis of Leukemia.  Of course, his is not Secondary AML.  Josh was brought back to this unit also on Friday so both "boys" are protected.  So the nurses are enjoying the age difference!  The "boys" have the same doctor and she says they're both doing fantastic. Thanks for remembering them also.

love,

Marcia
