Jeff has an infection in his central line, so the docs started him on the appropriate IV antibiotic. His temp hasn't risen yet today, but he needs to be fever-free for about 36 hours before they'll discharge him. Let's hope he's home by Thursday.
The donor drive was a big success. We registered 186 new people and raised about $3500 to help with the cost of the tissue typing. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day run as smoothly as it did, and special thanks to all the new donors.

I wanted to thank you and your family/friends for setting up the Donor Drive--I have always wanted to become a potential donor--but never looked into it enough to do on-line or in another area. I'm glad it was in Johnsonburg and that you made it more available to this area and made more people aware of the possibilities to save a life. I got the blog from the RUnning for a Cause info sheet and have read your blogs over the years. You are a remarkable woman--having a newborn and dealing with Jeff's illness. I wish you and your family much happiness.
YAY for the new donors yesterday...
three cheers for you!
This drive has
also prompted lots of people to join the registry on-line!
Danielle may get out of a car slow, but she managed to get a boat load of people to do this simple procedure via:

FYI to the world!
you never know who is watching you get out of a car....so move fast!
I'm also proud of all the people that got out of their car quick enough to make it to the donor drive!
I thought the drive turned out GREAT! There were lots of people there to support you guys!
