FW: Prayer Request

Hi everyone - just a quick note, Summer is going back to Stanford tomorrow to start another round of ATG-chemo treatment. As many of you know, we do not have a perfect bone marrow match, so this is the best viable alternative. The hope is that this second round of treatment will put this bone marrow disease into remission. She can only go through this treatment twice consecutively, so a successful outcome is vital. She will be in the hospital for ~ 5 days as long as she doesn't have any serum sickness and/or fevers or infections. And then we will be living over there for 4 weeks -- again, as long as she doesn't have any complications. Please pray that this treatment is a success and also that Summer and everyone that comes in contact with her will be sick-free for the next several months. As we approach flu season, this is more important than ever. She will be back to very low cell counts for a couple of weeks, so we need a healthy environment for her to stay on track!
