Transplant Day!

December 8, 2009
Author: courtney

Today’s the day! It’s hard to believe it’s been nine months to the day practically since this crazy journey began.  Jonathan is pumped up and ready to put these new stem cell to work.  And Lynne is handling her donor duty with the grace and lovely humor we knew she would.

Jonathan and I sent a note of thanks last week as we thought about all of you over Thanksgiving.  But today is the day we have been building towards for months, so it bears repeating just how much your love and laughter continues to mean to  us. It’s the source of strength that keeps us going. Always looking forward and up during event the most challenging times.  We know the days ahead will be challenging still, but to have gotten to this milestone today is amazing.  We’re ready to keep up the fight and see this through to the end. Today, however, is not about battling cancer, it’s about celebrating life. A celebration of Jonathan”s second chance and of the generosity and hope that Lynne and all donors represent.

With  love to all,  please join us in leaving your  Zero Birthday wishes for Jonathan!
