Update

Joshua reporting:

So it's been about 2 weeks since our last update. Sorry about the lack of updates and information.

They've scheduled Brianne for a bone marrow transplant on March 10th and the donor is a 10 out of 10 match which is really good. They're working on finalizing all the details with the donor and will be running a bunch of tests on Brianne in preparation for the transplant. The doctors have stopped giving Brianne chemo. so she can gain some strength and stamina in preparation for the transplant as it should be pretty grueling. She's also taken the last of the steroids she had been given which will give her a better mood as the steroids tend to make her irritable (I don't know if she wanted me to say that, but it's true). Getting off both chemo and steroids is really good b/c of her mood and strength.

In other good news, Brianne was approved by Emory's charity care program which will help to cover most of the expenses of the hospitalization and treatments.

So we have two big praises: date for transplant and money so that's great, but keep her in your prayers as anticipation, fear, and apprehension build before the transplant day. Also pray that she'll be gaining physical strength and continuing to remain strong emotionally and spiritually. We're excited about having a transplant date and on the 14th of February we'll be meeting with the transplant team to discuss the transplant and "aftermath."
