I have a big time praise report today. Both of my insurance providers have approved the bone marrow transplant. Concern over this has been the source of a lot of stress and I am relieved to know we can move forward. I feel God has opened the doors necessary to make the transplant happen. The perfect donor match from Germany and the insurance approval were big challenges. It is apparent that this bone marrow transplant is a step He wants me to take.

It looks like I will stay on schedule to begin pre-transplant work ups on April 13th and the actual transplant on May 4th. My last day of work is April 9th. Saying goodbye to my students is going to be tough.

Yesterday was too much fun at work. A group of my students and I were filming the introduction and conclusion to this year's Fife High School
senior video. My friend Gary let us use his Shelby Cobra. If you know
cars, you know this car is something special. I dressed up in our school
mascot costume and my students filmed me driving the Cobra to different places in the Fife community. What a day!

Thank you for everyone who continues to pray. God is listening and today He clearly gave us an answer we wanted to hear.
