Counts Are Up!!

So sorry about the wait, things have been pretty crazy! 

Jon's counts came up Saturday and the doctors said don't get excited they will probably come down again but we said "You don't know the God we serve! They are gonna keep coming up!" and sure enough they keep coming up!! 

Thank You Jesus!! 

Jon is still having good days and bad days which is still normal, 

but should be released from UCSF tomorrow or Sunday! 

This is great news but he still has to stay in 

San Francisco since he must stay within 45min. of UCSF. 

We are still raising $$ to help with travel expenses & such. Every little bit adds up! 

Thank You everyone for all you done so far!

Last weekend The Bakers, Debbie & Kristin went down to visit them & then another friend Jennifer visited him as well! He are some pictures that G-ma took...kind of blurry but we'll give her a break- hehe

Update!

Hello Everyone!

Jon is doing fairly well! It's been a week since the he got the Stems Cells...so 1 week down 2 ta go.

The doctors say it will take 3 weeks till his body starts making its own stem cells so,

He has good days & bad days which is totally normal =0)

He feel asleep like this the other day ;0)

Transplant is Happening Now!

Yay! The surgery to take Tim's stem cells went pretty well yesterday. 

He should be released sometime today.

Jon is getting the transplant now, it will be done in several hours. 

Thank You Sooooo much Everyone for all the Prayers, Love & Donations!!!
Keep up the good work! :0)
The Doctors are saying it will take about 3 weeks before Jon's counts start to rise
and him starting to feel better. All the continual Prayers, Love and Dontaions are still Very, Very important.
Especially during the next several weeks/months as this is probably some of the hardest times for Jon.

The transplant happening.

The staff at UCSF consider the transplant a "birth" since its a new start,
they even bring a birthday cake to you! 

So Happy "Birthday" Jon :0)

Checking to make sure all is well. =0)
