Megan getting her x ray.
Megan getting her EKG. Look at that smile!!!The plan for this week. Monday: Steve and I meet with the bone marrow MD and their team to review the transplant and harvest process. Tuesday: Brooke goes in for an additional Broviac, so she will have 2 of them. Wednesday: Megan comes in for outpatient surgery to have her bone marrow harvested.
Not sure yet when Brooke gets the bone marrow if it's Wednesday or Thursday. The bone marrow is given to Brooke through her Broviac, just like her other IV's.
Obviously this plan has changed a few times. It was originally set for Monday but due to some blood typing issues it has been moved back. Leah, Ashley and Macy have colds right now so besides bleaching our children clean, Megan is off to Grandma's to try and stay healthy. Right now they are all walking around with masks on. We have lost it, our kids keep laughing at us. Steve and I are driving ourselves crazy thinking about germs! This is so not us :) Please pray this week that Megan stays healthy and that she is not too scared. So far she has been ok with all this. Pray for Brooke to stay strong and the other girls get over their colds so they can be a part of all this amazing journey. We have learned so much as a family this far and I feel this is just the beginning. God is so good and faithful!
There will be a prayer service at East Saugatuck Church Tuesday at 8pm. We believe so strongly in the power of prayer and we thank Scott for arranging this. We are so blessed to have all of you in our lives. If you can't make it that is ok. God hears prayers from everywhere.
Thank you 4th grade class at Pine Ridge for all the food, gas cards and cards. What a blessing you are to all of us!!

Prayers for you guys today, what a big day! Megan, I'm praying for you right now!! What an awesome big sister you are - you and Brooke will have a special connection for the rest of your lives!! May God shower all of you today with blessing after blessing.
You are in our prayers. I didn't realize that our paths crossed at Devos when we were there with our son over Christmas until Tom mentioned it tonight. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Please know that we will be lifting you up in prayer!!!
