Although it broke my heart that I had to stay away, I know that left in the capable hands of my friends, the enormous task would go off without a hitch, and from all reports it did just that. I was sent reports, pictures, texts, calls all afternoon and Daniel even face timed in at times with Gordy. I was overwhelmed mostly by the outpouring of people telling me how much we are loved and how wonderful it was to see so many people from the community there to support our family. There were many from outside our immediate community which was wonderful as well. I consider you all family. There were any there that don't even know Daniel or me or maybe Rob. Just a wonderful outpouring of support. I can't thank everyone enough. Mimi of course who over took such a huge project in such a short amount of time and with such passion. Ronit that rounded up and organized the volunteers. The volunteers support that I love and are to many to name. Denver Jewish Day School for providing the and always being there for us. And to everyone of those of you that came out to swab or try or just came and say hi, words can't express my love and gratitude. I think about reporting back that I know someone will BE THE MATCH for someone someday from our drive and how proud I will be of us. Us as a community and what Daniel's awareness brought. I know I am getting sappy but how can I not after the effort that all you expressed today for us. And somehow it came through already. Daniel went to sleep last night with an ANC of 0 and today almost like a miracle of some kind it is 129. This means if he holds through the night he can go home tomorrow. I don't want to jinx anything but here's hoping. It was pretty funny. When the Doctors came in they even had to ask to see his reports because it didn't really make much sense. But then again not much does with this "Unicorn Child". So let's hope for a great night sleep and some more dreaming of monocytes and lymphocytes and white blood cells and all that good stuff that will get him home tomorrow for a week or so. We want Matthew and our own shower and our own bed and our own food and visits from friends and family and Chewy (our pup) and NFL Network 24/7 (oh did I say that). But if not tomorrow then it will be Tuesday and that will be okay too. We know that. I hope we sleep tonight we are both so excited.
Thank you again to the community for coming out in support and for raising awareness today.
