My Heart - by Kristen Lea

No new news on my mom as of yet. We find out more in a few weeks... hopefully when he transplant will take place and everything. We had a good thanksgiving. Mom was so hungry and ready to chow down! She ate quite a bit (for what she has been able to eat lately). Then at around 5 pm ish she started feeling crumby. I guess every day its similar. She feels good in the morning and most of the day until about that time. She gets really nauseated and just feels awful. So Hopefully all of this transplant business will cure all of that! Nothing really exciting is happening in my life. I had a short week this week and I was glad! I just get so frustrated at work sometimes. Not because of the job at all- because of certain people I have to work with. I don't really want to go into it any deeper than that. I watched Isaak tonight for my sister while she was at work (actually, I still am for about five more minutes). He's such a good baby- even when he's sick. He's got...

PRAISE GOD! They found a match for my mom's bone marrow transplant. My youngest aunt (my mom's sister) Kellie is a match. It is such a blessing, and I see God's hand in this whole thing- because she is the only one eligible who hasn't had children. They say having kids changes the marrow, and she's been trying since she's been married with no "luck." Maybe now God can work some more and she will get pregnant after she does the transplant! Thank you for all your prayer support and encouragement! I couldn't be happier today!

Please keep my family in your prayers. Four of my mom's siblings were tested to see if they're a match for bone marrow and none of them are a match. There are only two left- then me and my siblings. To be quite honest, I'm terrified that I will have to be the donor. Thats scary stuff to me. I mean, of course I would do it, but honestly it is absolutely a frightening thought for me. Just keep us all in your prayers that we will find a donor, and that the match won't freak out!
