Headed to the Big Apple!

Beth's white blood cell and platelet counts dropped again today which puts her at greater risk of infection and bleeding.  So we spoke with Dr. Boulad tonight and he wants us to move Beth to New York where she can be directly under his care during this "interim" period before transplant.

This means a sooner-than-expected transition to the Big Apple for Beth and an earlier temporary "goodbye" for her and the boys. However, this eliminates a lot of risks and puts Beth in the safest place before the transplant occurs.

Beth will not return home until after transplant and recovery.  We expect to be in New York the first of the week.  She will be in NYC until healed :)

Prayer requests:

• Beth's white cell and platelet count to increase


• Beth to stay infection free


• Safe travel to NYC


• Smooth transition & adjustment for our boys, Eyasu & Abreham


• The donor match process to move forward quickly


• For Dr. Boulad and his team of transplanters


• For God to be glorified and Beth to be COMPLETELY healed by a miracle or the miracle of medicine!!
