Simon update

Thank you family and friends for helping us send strength and love to Simon.  His marrow arrived in the early morning hours of Feb 4th, World Cancer Day. I think his mom said that of the 4 million people in the donor bank, there were 2 matches.  Just 2.  A 41 year old man in Germany donated to this sweet boy.  The transfusion went well and he is now awaiting engraftment (the cells take up residence in the child's bones and begin to produce healthy blood cells).  Simon's big battle has now begun...

  2. Thanks for the update, Lisa. Simon the Jedi was my last thought as I went to bed last night.
