As most of you know, I tend to be a "milestone" poster; and today is one of those posts. My husband, Bill, already posted on Facebook early this morning, and I am catching up with mine (refereed soccer all day). Fifteen years ago today/tonight, a Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina, a frightened 10 year old and his family could hardly breathe when Ryan began the 900 cc's of precious bone marrow and A+ blood for the 8 hour transfusion to save his life! (A BIG Shout of THANKS to Scott Harris). It's incredible to note that so many participated in our cancer journey, and we are forever grateful to all who played any part in getting Ryan to full strength and restored health.
Nothing short of a miracle!
BSoleille!
