So I'm heading down to donate platelets at lunch today for Matt. I've been taking double iron, so hopefully I won't be rejected today. It is such an easy way to give. Matt has been poked so many times that it is the least I can do. God truly made us amazingly...that we can so freely give of ourselves for a friend in need.
I'm coordinating a blood drive at work for Monday, February 7th. It is going to be from 2 - 6 p.m. I have so many great co-workers who stepped up to donate within minutes of me posting the info. There are just seven spots left to fill after 4:30 p.m. Again, such an easy way to support Matt. You don't have to be his blood type, just donate and remember to ask for the coupons. Then get the coupons to me. They defer $10 per coupon from his blood bill. And as those who have kept up with the blog know, he has had lots of blood and platelet transfusions, and with three more months of treatments to go, he will require even more in the coming months. So thanks to everyone who has donated. It really means a lot to us!!!
Hopefully everyone will have a great nights sleep at our house since we have to get up early to be ready to check in at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Matt is scheduled first thing to get the PICC line inserted and chemo will start shortly after that. I just keep praying these consolidation chemo treatments go as easy as they did last month. These are a piece of cake compared to the induction treatment in November.
Thanks for all your support and prayers. Love to you all!
