As the sun rises this morning and another day full of emotions begins, we are trying to focus on being thankful. Most of the last few days Thankful was not the emotion that was taking center stage, but today in the midst of heartbreak, we are trying to be thankful. Not for what is, that we cannot control, but for Brylees strength and for all of you who have rallied around her to once again to support her and her family in this battle. Brylee is admitted now and beginning Chemotherapy again and handing all of this like a true champion. Every day brings frustration, anger, sadness and fear...but today we are reminded of the kindness and generosity of others. We are so thankful for such amazing friends and family and the support of so many that have never even met Brylee. There are still a lot of decisions to be made and plans change by the day, but a repeated question by many is, How can I help? Where can I donate blood or become part of the bone marrow registry?. That is what we are thankful for. The reality is that the likelihood of a match being found by a family member or friend here in Boise for Brylee is slim. But, YOU could be a match for a child just like her somewhere else waiting for a donor and hoping that someone will be able to help. There have been some posts and emails about joining Be The Match and that is a great option as well as Delete Blood Cancer and a few others. They both can send a kit directly to your house and you swab your cheek and send it back with no cost to you, but there is another option that a new friend has brought to our attention. There is a bone marrow drive that the director of Be The Match is flying in for the end of January and she would like to do this in honor of Brylee. The details are still in the planning stages and we will keep everyone updated as they come about, but for now you can know that we are working on making this an easy way for all who want to help to come get their cheeks swabbed and support Brylee. The date of the event, as we learn more about it, will be posted here and Rob and Monica are trying to keep everyone updated the best they can, but their attention right now is on thier sweet girl and surrounding her with love and comfort. Again, please know that we are so thankful for all of you and trust that God will heal Brylee once again.
