James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
After several rounds of chemo that didn't seem effective in destroying the leukemia, Jerry's primary oncologist at Duke and the transplant oncologist have decided at this time that the best option for the treatment of his leukemia is a bone marrow transplant.
He has a preliminary date to check in at the hospital December 23 to begin chemo in preparation for his transplant. His donor is his younger brother, Bobby, who is to report to Duke on December 19. Bobby will also have to go through a physical exam to make sure that he is a suitable donor.
We are very excited about this hope that God has given us. Thank you for your prayers in seeing us through this thus far and ask that you please continue praying.
We love you!
Praying all goes well. Merry Christmas to you! Prayer & love,
