Re: Daughter Starts transplant process in two weeks

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

And we will too. Your daughter is young and she needs the best chance for a

cure. She will marry someday and give you lots of grandbabies. Positive thoughts

going forward, Your daughter and family will be in my prayers.

God Bless

Hi Group,

It seems lately I have seen several posts about transplants. My 20yo daughter

starts the transplant process on August 2nd and the actual transplant is on Aug

10. Everytime I see something about transplants it certainly gets my attention.

For now I just keep her in my prayers.

Hi Dave: We have not heard from you lately. I do remember your daughter from

when she was just diagnosed. Just know I will be praying for her along with all

the others who are getting their transplants. Life Is Hard But God Is Good!!

Keep us all posted on her recovery.
