The schedule for the stem cell transplant is in:
August 2, Mark's brother John has a physical to verify he is able to give stem cells.
August 9, Mark goes into U of M for third round of chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells prior to the transplant.
August 12, John begins a series of 4 shots to build up his stem cell production.
August 16, John donates stem cells through a machine similar to kidney dialysis. Blood is removed by the vein, spun out in a machine that separates the stem cells, gives them to Mark, and returns the blood back to John.
We continue to praise God for a good match, and pray that the transplant will go well and the transplant will take and begin healthy blood cell production for Mark.
