Yesterday Dad got a Hickman Line put in near his shoulder where the chemo and bone marrow treatment will be administered. He is quite happy that the tests are done and is ready to begin the treatment. Mom will be staying at the hotel nearby the hospital for the duration. The best part is that there is a Tim Hortons right across the street!
The remainder of this week Dad will be receiving chemo and on the 7th the bone marrow treatment is scheduled to start. We are thankful that Uncle Ron was a match to Dad and we will also keep him in our prayers.
Mom and Dad wish to express their gratitude for the many cards and words of encouragement they have received. Mom is always checking the comments and relaying the messages to Dad and I know they mean a lot to them. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Please note: if you wish to visit Dad and Mom we kindly ask that you schedule it with Ed jr. & Ang. They are keeping track of who is coming and when and this helps Mom to not have to worry about it.

You are thought about and prayed for often. May all things go as planned.

All the best as you begin the bone marrow transplant process, Uncle Ed. Jeremy and I are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. :)
I hadn't been aware of this blog until Ang filled me in last week. I wish Bret and I could see you while we are here, but the situation makes it impossible this time. You are in our minds and on our hearts continually, and we'll pray for you daily. I know the road ahead is not going to be an easy one, but may the Lord give you daily grace, healing, and peace. Love, Ellen Davis
