Today at church, I lit a candle for your daughter and you, OP. Please come update when you get a chance.

I am visiting my parents this weekend and watching my toddler play with my mother right now. For some reason, it made me think of you and I checked in to DCUM to let you know I'm thinking of you.

I cannot adequately express how deeply sorry I am for you, and for the other mothers posting here who have lost children. I am in awe of your absolute grace, and I am holding you in the light.

I too will sign up to be a marrow donor. I had considered it before, but reading this thread makes it clear how important it is to follow through. Thank you to the PP who posted the link.

Good afternoon, OP. Thinking about you this afternoon.
I took the time to update my donor marrow registry. It didn't occur to me, but I can't donate while pregnant. I'll be right back on that list as soon as I can after that.

Just a note to say that I signed up for the donor registry after reading your story. I've already sent back my kit and got the email this morning that they received it. I have every intention of following through if I am a match for someone.

Thinking if you.

OP, we're all still here sending good wishes your way. Hang in there.

Bumping you up again OP, and holding you in my thoughts.

Thinking of you tonight OP

Just a small thing, but I have been short with my kid when she kept getting out of bed at night for just one more hug, or more water, or whatever. Lately, I don't seem to mind anymore and hugs and snuggles have been taking the place of arguments over bedtime. Thanks in large part to you, OP! Sending you hugs and prayers for peace.

Thank you for making me a better mom and giving my kids a more loving, patient and kind mother. Thank you. May you and your daughter be blessed with eternal life together.

I took today off of work to stay home with the kids and take them swimming. Hugs to you and to your daughter. I am praying for peace for both of you.

I am sending away for the kit- I may not meet eligibility requirements- but if I do, I will most certainly join the registry. Sending you hugs OP. I have been thinking about you daily since your initial post.

I have a 17 year old son who is going through a rough patch. I have had anxiety over his future lately, and been feeling sorry for myself. Thank you for helping me to remember how lucky I am to parent even when things get tough. Hugs to you.
