I can't find the topic I started for you. Is this a hint for me to be quiet my brother. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY,
 
OH NO! By no means Shun. While I will always try and keep everyone posted this thing is long and drug out! They tested my Brother Monday to be the Bone Marrow Donor. Asking for prayer that he be a match. Go to the Bone Marrow Clinic tomorrow to start the process of setting everything up. Keep those prayers coming and THANK ALL of you for the Prayers and Donations. Long road ahead, appreciate you all.
 
Prayers being sent out to you Mike and also for your brother and all of your family.
God bless you all and may God be with the Doctors in your upcoming procedures.

Still sending prayers your way buddy. Haven't posted much here lately. A lot of family issues and my wife's best friend is fighting the same fight you are.

Even though I haven't posted much the last several months, don't think you haven't been thought about my friend.

You've always been more than just a person behind a keyboard. You've always been a friend.

I love you buddy. Praying and hoping for a complete recovery. God bless

Hi wilsinnc, I assume that GOD is in your heart, my brother.
Shun, he is and my family has seen its share of tragic illness. We lost my 32yr old neice to kidney failure in june my 32 yr old nephew 5yrs ago in june to heart attack. I am currently in stage 4 kidney failure and fighting like hell. If i can help someone live or have a better life i am all for it. I urge everyone to register as an organ donor to help save someone.

Prayers for you Mike. Keep up the hope. God has a plan. I am undergoing major surgery next week and will not be able to be around here for quite a while but will pray for you even in my hospital bed. And I believe God has a plan for all of us so I am not worried. You as well, let the plan play out. Fight like heck, but know the plan is in place.

Got a call from The Bone Marrow Clinic today, right now there is NO MATCH to be found for me. Have to rely on transfusions to keep going, not happy but God will provide.

Mike, have they discussed cord blood with you? They may have have searched for that too.
When I was in the unit last fall, judge Carl Fox of Orange County was in at the same time. He is MDS and did not have a match, but they were able to use cord blood with him . My understanding Is he is doing ok now.
I will continue to have you in my prayers.
