Zach,11 and Jaxsen,8 are brothers from Ga who both have a disease called Chronic Granulomatous Disease,CGD. Their white blood cells do not work at all, so their chance to get infection is high and when they do get one, it is hard for them to fight off. The wonderful news is that CGD can now be cured through bone marrow transplants.

Tuesday's checkup at Duke went well. Both boys' lungs look good. Zach's heart looks great. Jaxsen's heart muscle has been thickened due to the heavy doses of steroids he has taken...nothing serious, just something to take note of should he become ill. We won't know the results of the donor cell %'s for a couple of weeks, but will let you know as soon as we do.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed their flight to Duke, thanks to Mr. Gerald. The boys thought they were VIPS with their own pilots-LOL- Mr. Tom and Mr. Taylor were great. Anyway, making the trip in 1 day instead of 3 was wonderful! I hope we aren't spoiled already!

Please continue to pray for Brad, his family has been told there is nothing else to do. Brad wants to go home and be with his family and friends so that is what they have decided to do. Thank you for all the prayers and support.
