A Special Prayer

It was a tough night and morning for Nick today due to nausea and lack of sleep.  Looks like we'll spend most of the day trying to get him to eat.  Right now all he wants to do is catch up on sleep.  I'm thankful that he's made it through chemo and that today is a doctor scheduled "rest day".  Couldn't have come soon enough!
Tomorrow is transplant - or "Day 0" as they say in the BMT unit, but our donor is giving her blood stem cells today.  I know that many of you have been praying for Nick constantly, but I'd like to ask a favor of everyone reading this blog.  Would you say a special prayer for Nick and his donor today?  It's OK if you haven't spoken to God in some time.  Believe me, He still knows your voice and now is a perfect time to start the conversation.   Please pray that the donor receives a special blessing for having "stepped up" for a stranger.  Pray that her stem cells are healthy and graft with Nick's.  And, pray that once they are transplanted into Nick tomorrow, that he is blessed with restored health.  Thank you in advance for this.  XO
