My husband Andy Robert was diagnosed with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome), a bone marrow disorder, in March 2011. This is about, what promises to be, a very long journey with a life threatening disease. How it effects him physically, emotionally and how it effects his family.

More news.
A couple of weeks ago we were told that Andy and his sister Megan didn't match. Today we were told that he and his sister, Erin, also didn't match. However, they found over 400 donors; some of them have already been fully typed and appear to be matches already!! This is very good news. So, that June/early July stem cell transplant time sounds like it's very possible. It's a little scary but very exciting also. Hopefully, Andy's blood count levels will stay stable and there won't be any real urgency like as if the MDS turned to leukemia. I've actually been feeling strangely peaceful about this. I spent a lot of time praying on it, if you will. I have faith that Andy will be cured with this stem cell transplant. :) Oh, as a side note...I think I'd like to learn how to play the banjo. :) Lauren wants to learn how to play the guitar. I'm gonna look into that. :) Something else to think about. :) A good thing.
