Diana and I went to the hospital yesterday. Diana is my friend that has been battling leukemia for a year now. In May, we heard the word remission. In August, her platelets began to drop again.
The past few weeks have been difficult. She had a bone marrow biopsy last week (I’m the bone marrow buddy) and we knew that yesterday we would hear the results. Neither one of us slept much the night before, we were sweating it, but we managed to laugh all the way down the highway on our way to the appointment. We can always find things to laugh about.
If I tried to tell you how much I love her, it would be futile. She is crazy and talkative and funny and emotional and generous and loud and conscientious. Her wit is unmatched and her driving is slow (although she would strongly disagree). We both love Stephen Colbert, Saladworks and when we are together we cry – whether from laughing too hard or living too honestly.
The news at the hospital was mixed. Diana is sorely in need of a bone marrow transplant. In today’s post, I am asking for something.
If you are person who prays, who you join me in asking God for a donor? You may want to mention that it’d be great if He’d act quickly.
If you are a person who has blood in your body, would you consider registering for the bone marrow bank? It is just a simple blood test. Click here for info.
Who knows? You may not match Diana, but you might save another witty, laughing, talkative, crazy, slow-driving person that someone else loves desperately.
