Here we are at Day-1. Bill had his radiation early this morning(they picked him up at 5:30), so he's had a long day and is very wiped out. Dr. Selby says he is doing great. Day 0 is tomorrow-the BIG DAY. The Dr. told us the transplant will probably take place a little after noon. Of course Jason, Bridget and Nick will be here with me. We're all very excited to start his new beginning. We truly believe that God will see him through this with all your prayers. His blood counts are really fluctuating now and causing him to be extra tired. He got up and did his walking though. He's a hard one to keep down. Please keep him in your prayers tomorrow.

Thinking of you and remembering the day before my transplant 27 years ago. Had no idea what the future would hold, but had faith that there WAS a future for me. Keep the faith Bill and God will take care of the rest.
