I wanted to explain what the last test meant. Since my Chromosome test came back, I now am looking at getting a bone marrow transplant. I just hope everyone will keep this in their prayers the next couple of days that either Brad or Nate are a match. The chances of them matching are 50%, so any extra help we can get would be great. If they are a match they will do the transplant after my 3rd round of chemo, if they are not I will go through all 5 treatments of chemo. Thanks again to everyone for your support and love.
Love, Trent

Are there ways for additional family or friends to be tested if they are not a match. I am sure there are many people that would be more than willing to be tested. Also many friends and family are praying for you and your family. Good job making it through the first round.
Hey Tiff-
I know I am not the only one who has done this but I put your family on the prayer role at the temple Tuesday night! We know there is power in prayer!
Please know we are here for you. We are all willing to be tested for bone marrow if it comes down to it also-not sure how that all works!
Love you guys!

There are three different sub-types of the AML leukemia. We are the middle kind so they will do the transplant if siblings are a match and will not do it if they are not. Things may change later but right now they are only testing Brad and Nate. If there comes a time to expand we will let everyone know. Thanks for the offer and prayers. Jeff

Joy,
Thank you so much for putting us on the prayer role. We need all we can get. How are you guys doing? Are you doing anything fun for the 24th? Bone Marrow test is not in yet but we will let you know! Thanks
Love Tiff
Funny question-is it a prayer role or prayer roll? Not quite sure! I retyped it 5 times!!!!! I think roll is what you eat...silly! haha
We are going camping for the 24th, fun! We are anxious to hear about the bone marrow test-still don't understand it. I am sure you have become an expert on so many things in a short amount of time! We truly pray for you every day! What a milestone-1st round done! Talk to ya later!
Love, Joy

We can't believe what a brave boy you have been. We are so proud of you. John is in Quantico Virginia at some training with the FBI and is going to send you something to let you know he is thinking of you and your family. We will make sure that we get this to your dad so he can bring it up to you.
Tif and Jeff, just want you to know that we are thinking of you all and you are definitely in our prayers.

Trent Man!
Hey dude. I don't really remember the bugs at the New Mexico cabin, but i've heard everyone talk about how bad it was. So i guess that one was worse. I don't think many people in our family liked that trip, but i was young enough to where i only remember the fun parts. All i remember was playing with mini goats, and looking at old indian ruins. It was pretty sweet.
That's funny about the pudding fight. haha. pudding can get pretty messy, which means its perfect for a good food fight.
We'll be thinking about you lots while we're all in wyoming. WE'll take care of Nate and Brad for you.
Good luck with everything this weekend buddy. You'll be in my prayers. Love ya!
Nate
Tiff and Jeff and kids-
We are thinking of you all of the time and wish that we were there to do more. We love getting on to read your updates. It helps us feel a little closer. We miss you all a ton, and hope to visit soon. Jerel is excited to shave his head. He told the guys who work for him that if they laugh they are fired! ha/ha This should be fun. We will send pictures. The boys will be bald too! Kayla EmmaLee and I are opting for bald caps. We still love you just as much as them though. You are in our prayers and we have a little package to send hopefully soon. Love ya lots-

Love Trent
