Last Friday night (3/24/06) was the Sock Hop fundraiser for FA in honor of Will.  The turnout was wonderful and surprising. We think that approximately $1,000 was raised for FA.   Almost everyone was dressed for the 50’s theme.  The girls had on their bobby socks, pony tails, and poodle skirts. The boys wore white tee shirts and had their hair greased back. The Dj even played music from the 50’s.  There was also food and games.  Everyone had a good time. I will load some pictures to the photo album. 

A BIG Thank You to everyone involved with this fundraiser and an especially big thank you to Stepping Stones Learning Academy!  Thanks for checking on us!  Randy, Nancy, Will, & Bonnie     

Will headed back to school today for the first time in almost a month. This excitement will not last very long.

 Will got an unexpected surprise tonight.  Our friends the Bowens (Andrea, Kyle, Kelsey) came to visit.  Kyle had bought Will an Xbox 360 ! Wow - what a gift. Will was extremely surprised and happy.  We can not express our thanks to Kyle (what a wonderful kid ) and to his family including Frank who was not there !   Thanks for thinking of us ! Randy, Nancy, Will & Bonnie

We headed south to Walt Disney World. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom lodge.  The weather was beautiful all week and everyone had a good time.

Thanks for checking on us !

Because of the emotional week we have had and the previous months leading up to this week’s disappointment, our family is in need of some relaxation.  We are packing our bags and heading south. We will update the journal when we return. Thanks for thinking of us !

We were just notified that Will’s donor has been medically deferred. This means that the transplant is on indefinite hold until they find out more details as to what is wrong with the donor. We do know that she had her physical last week so a test must have come back negative. We might not ever be able to use her. Needless to say, we are extremely upset. She was Will’s only perfect match. We are thankful that Will is in good health and is not in immediate danger.  We will update everyone when we have more information.  If anyone wants to become a bone marrow donor I have included a link.  You never know….You could be the ONE ! http://www.marrow.org/HELP/join_the_registry.html 

Today Will’s donor has her physical exam. We really aren’t sure what else she needs to do but we hope all checks out ok and that she agrees to donate. God Bless her !
