Hi!!

Hope that everyone is doing well. Things here are going great. Todd has been feeling pretty good. He seems to keep getting stronger with each day. He still goes to see Dr. Mannion once every three weeks. His counts are all good. We are heading to Seattle on June 23 for appointments on June 24 and June 25. We are really looking forward to meeting with the long term follow-up team to get their opinion on how things are going and see what our next steps will be.

As you all know when Todd received his transplant it was from an anonmoyous donor. We are so thankful that Paul was a match and on the registry and willing to be Todd's bone marrow donor. Now through May 19, The National Donor Marrow Program is holding a "Thanks Mom" Bone Marrow Drive. The $52 fee that is usually associated with joining the registry is being waived (while funding lasts). All you have to do is fill out and online application and then they will mail you a kit, to type your cells. This only involves using the swabs in the kit to swipe the inside of your cheeks to get a cell sample. Here is the link to the website: http://www.marrow.org/HELP/Join_the_..._join_now.html

You may be the match that can save someone's life!!

Thanks for all your love, prayers and support!

With Love & Thanks,

Todd & Melissa
