After a close call with septic shock and the loss of all his hair, I am happy to report that Connor is in remission!! Hooray for you, little man!!
Now the task before us is to find a bone marrow donor that is a match for Connor. We are working on doing a community "blood drive" where people will be tested as possible donors. Even if I am not a match for Connor, I might be a match for some other child who is in need!
All it takes is giving a simple blood sample to know if you are a donor match for someone on the list. There are so many children in need of donors and so few willing to go through the momentary discomforts of giving that life saving marrow that the kids so desperately need.
We thank you all for your prayers and good wishes, but now we need your bone marrow...LOL! I'll be one of the first in line to donate. I hope many of you will do the same.
God bless and keep all the children battling Leukemia tonight!
Hurray for Connor!:):):)...being a donor is a great thing.I regularly donate blood but my parents think I'm still too young to donate my bone marrow.And dont you worry!Connor is a little fighter!He's going to get out of this.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy!

ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you. God bless.
ReplyDeletePeace.
Thank you Mart and Midnight...And Connor thanks you too!!
ReplyDeletePrayers are on the way:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emeila!
ReplyDeleteI said a little prayer for Conner. I have leukemia also. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. The medication I am prescribed has it in remission, and I will be on it for life. But that's okay! I hope we get to read a post soon about a marrow donation for Conner. I'm sure it will happen. God bless.

Jeff...I'm so glad you're in remission. So is Connor, right now. The strength of your spirits, both of you, is inspirational! Connor says we can rub his bald head for a quarter a rub...LOL! Luv that little boy!!
ReplyDeleteAunt Kat thanks for all you have done to help Connor and me! It touches my heart to read all the nice things everyone is writing about Connor! He is still in remission and if he stays that way and doesn't get sick we will be going to San Antonio May 20th for his Transplant! Keep us in your prayers!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Amy and Connor
Amy..we love you and we love Connor! You both inspire me more than you will ever know!
