A Message from Lars

Received this email from Lars...he asked me to pass it on. He'll be posting here directly as soon as he's feeling up to it. Keep sending those thoughts and prayers.

Hi everybody. The wonderful creators of this website, Mike and Sonya, have graciously allowed me to post on the blog. The both of them thought it might be more relevant to have information straight from the jack ass', er horses' mouth. so here it goes.

Before I say anything about myself I would like to thank everyone whom has expressed well wishes, support, prayer and has give bone marrow samples or blood on my behalf-or on the behalf of others. The constant flow of support from everyone has been
tremendous and has given me and my family a tremendous boost. It is nice to be loved and cared about, whether I deserve it or not. Seriously, you all have been great and I can not express enough gratitude for all you have done.

Mike has updated the web site about a possible match and as of this moment his information is accurate. I probably have a match, but until I get into remission, nothing can be confirmed and I can not move forward with the transplant. I failed to get into remission after my first treatment of chemotherapy and had an
additional blast about a week before thanksgiving. I am now at home waiting for my existing bone marrow to recover from the chemotherapy to see if I am in remission. As soon as something significant occurs, I will update you.

Monica and the kids are doing relatively well through all of this, particularly due to the support and love of all the people around us. Again, I would like to thank you all.

Love,
Lars, Monica, Savannah and Sorina.
