All of you are so inspiring with how honest you are with everything that is going on in your life, good or bad, and I'm going to step up to the plate.
So thank you!
On September 22, my dad had a complete and total bone marrow transplant. Everything has happened so fast.
For over a year, he has been dealing with MDS (myelodysplatic syndrome). Between chemo and blood transfusions, my dad has pushed through it! Continuing to work and even making a trip down to our new house to help put up our chair rail and everything else!
Finally, his body just stopped responding to the chemotherapy.
Luckily, there was a match on the donor list and so everything happened from there.
It has been over a week since the transplant and I can't even begin to imagine what he is going through.
He truly is the toughest guy in the world, and as he has always said, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going!"
I just wanted to be honest with all of you of what is going on in my life. But most importantly, if you have a second, feel free to send any thoughts or prayers my family's way.

So sorry to hear your dad is going through a rough patch. Your family will be in my prayers for sure!

You and your dad are in my thoughts and prayers. My dad is currently in remission, so I know how scary it is when someone that is SO important in your life is suffering. Know that you aren't alone and to keep your head up! Sending positive vibes your family's way!
I will be praying for your dad!
I'm so sorry that you guys are dealing with this right now. I work for a cancer research hospital, so I write about these kinds of things every day and know how tough it can be on a family. You and your father are in my prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad...I will keep him and your family in my prayers. It is always hard to open up about personal matters on your blog, but in the end it helps you to get it all out there and also helps you feel the love and care from your readers. xoxo
praying for you darlin!!!!
Praying for you and your family!
Prayers from Alabama coming your way! :)
Ohmygoodness, friend I am so sorry your family is going through this. I'm sending hugs, thoughts, love and many prayers. It's definitely easier to blog about happy things, but I've found that my faith in the blogging community has been solidified in those times when I blog about something that's really not so happy. Even across the interwebs, we're here for each other. And across the interwebs, I'm here for you, friend.
praying for you and your sweet dad friend! :)
keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong!
I will definitely keep your dad and family in my prayers! My dad had leukemia when I was in high school, so I know how difficult it is to watch a parent go through that. What a praise that they found a donor for him! I hope things continue to improve for him.
Your dad will be in my prayers!! How is he doing now?
