Day 48

Hi Everyone,

Today wasn't the greatest day but it was at the same time. The good news first. Char got to come home today!! We are so happy to have him home. The bad news... The boys were not a bone marrow match. I thought I was prepared for the results to be a yes or no, but I wasn't. When Charlie told me I just broke down in tears. I feel so sad that they wernt a match but know that we will find Charlie a match very soon. They took more blood from Charlie to see if anyone in the bone marrow registry is a match. This could take a few weeks. Please be praying for that! I know most of the time I say that Charlie is doing good. Don't get me wrong. He is doing great, but he is definitely feeling a little down. He is hanging in there. Charlie will have to go back August 11th for a check up which will determine when he goes back for another round of chemo. We are all feeling a little down and sad that Charlie will not be getting a transplant as soon as we thought. It's so easy to get down and feel discouraged with all of this going on, but we gotta push through it. We all seem to be on edge, but this is when we have to take a step back and realize that we need to take things day by day. Please pray for Charlie and for all of us to relax a little. God has a big plan and a big picture. I am praying that in His time we will know. I pray for patience and encouragement right now. We love all of you and thank you for your prayers and daily encouragement. Until tomorrow, good night
