We are happy to report that to date all of tests Dad has taken have proven positive. We are thankful that our prayers have been answered. The tests were not pleasant and as a result Dad is quite sore. He has also gotten Shingles and is taking medication for this. We hope that in the next week the sores will clear up.
The hospital and treatment dates have changed somewhat. He will be admitted on the 31st with the treatment starting on the 7th of January. The week before the treatment he will be given chemo. Because Dad and Uncle Ron are part of a research study they thought it best to change the transplant from a stem cell to a bone marrow transplant.
We as family are thankful that we can celebrate Christmas with Dad at home. We pray that he and Mom will be given the strength they need from our Heavenly Father for the days ahead.

Hey Mom,
Thinking about you and Dad. Things are going good here. Remember that God is in control. He has a plan. There is a purpose for everything. Also remember that God loves you both. I love you both very much.
Love,
