The Latest - The Match!


Here is some news from Claire, great for Hector to hear after a visit this
past weekend with Sheila and Nic:

Hi All,
I just wanted to let you know that Hector's brother, George, is a confirmed bone marrow match!! We are so grateful for that terrific news...not to mention the fact that he has assured me that he will hold off on his hang-gliding lessons for a couple of months. As my beautiful friend, Michele, just told me yesterday, "God is not such a mystery...we see His handiwork all around us". Amen, sis-tah!

So, Hector will have a second round of chemo over the next 3-4 weeks, then it is transplant time...looking like late Oct. He will need more blood and platelets during that time and most of the month of Nov. for those willing and able (many thanks to those whose blood and platelets he has already received!).

Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for your positive thoughts and prayers. Hector is tolerating the chemo pretty well and he is such a strong man, we have faith that he will come through this and be home, recovering by Christmas.

Much Love and Thanks to you all,Claire & Hector
