My admiration for my big brother increased by 100 fold today. He has given of himself willing and completely to save Michelle's life. All this he has done without complaint. These are the things that heros do. Gerald does not like the attention on himself, in fact, he does not really like me posting anything about his end of this process. However, this blog will someday be made into a book or a journal for Michelle and we want to have all sides of the story told.
I just returned from visiting Gerald in the BMT Unit. The Lord definetly knew Gerald was the right donor. By early estimations it looks like there is no need for him to return tomorrow. There will be enough stem cells collected today! This is awesome news for him as well as for Shelly.
