There hasn't been much to update in the world of the Williams Family. Mom continues to deal with post-chemo side effects--including loss of appetite, fatigue, spending lots of time in the bathroom, and hair loss. Mom decided she was tired of dealing with the hair falling out, so she had Amanda (and Andrew) shave her hair....it just so happened to be Mother's Day:(
Her counts are still pretty low, so she'll wait all of this out in the hospital. In the meantime, there were no sibling matches for a bone marrow donor, so we are praying that there will be a donor in the National Marrow registry. Several people have asked if they can be tested to see if they are a match for Mom, and the answer is no. However, you can register to be in the registry by going to http://bethematch.org. This means that you would be willing to donate to anyone(someone else's brother, mom, or child) that needs it and matches with you (for perspective Steven's been in the registry over a year and hasn't been called to be a donor for anyone).
On Dad's news, he will be heading to Chicago to meet with with some doctor's for a second opinion. Joe and Jerry will be travelling with him, so please keep them all in your prayers for safe travels this week. Also pray that the doctor's have some promising news!!
Thanks for all your care and concern!
