| My momma and her sisters |
Well, I had another post ready to go, but that one will have to wait, because I have some good news that shouldn't have to wait for anything...
Today we found out that my mom's younger sister is a 10 out of 10 match for her for a bone marrow transplant!
This has the potential to drastically change the course of things for her as her prognosis is not very promising without it.
It's looking like February is when things will take place and she will likely be hospitalized, on protective isolation for 4-8 weeks after that. During that process, the health care team will protect her while they wipe out her faulty immune system and replace it with her sister's immune system which will hopefully start attacking her cancer cells.

I remember watching these three sisters holding each other as they cheered their mom into eternity. Ever since that time, I have seen them cling to each other and watched as the bonds between them strengthened into some of the strongest ties I have ever seen.
I have appreciated how they each stepped up and offered a part of themself to save my mom's life. They know it won't be an easy process, but for them, there is no question that it is the right thing to do.
I know they will be supporting my mom and each other through the process.
And I think that's pretty awesome.
It is awesome! I was so happy to hear that. We will continue to pray for her and for her sister.
