Dad had an appointment yesterday with the stem cell doctor and although things can still change it looks as though he will be able to undergo the stem cell transplant. He will need to take some tests to make sure his body can handle the transplant and he will need to take preventative measures (like seeing a dentist) to make sure he does not get any infections.
Uncle Ron (Dad's younger brother) was a match and he will be the donor when the time comes. If all goes according to plan Dad will be in the hospital December 29th and will start the treatment on January 5th.
We are extremely thankful that Dad will be able to have this transplant but we are also anxious about it and the results. Your kind words of encouragement and prayers mean more than words can say.

Hello Ed and family.
I have just discovered Facebook and found your blog. Johanna had informed me earlier about Ed's health. I am bringing you and your health concerns in my daily prayers to the Lord. May He give you strength and comfort.
