I am so lucky! I have 3 birthdays each year. Today I turned 3! My first stem-cell transplant was 3 years ago today. What a blessing Jordan ______ gave me. His selfless act of love and kindness gave me life. Without his cells, I would not be here today. Happy birthday to me!

It's back. Leukemia has reared it's ugly head again. Won't know much until the end of next week.

Melanie ______ passed away peacefully this morning at 6:22. Her sister posted this.
Jordan _____ is my son. He was a 2L at FSU when he donated bone marrow stem cells to Melanie, a 31-year-old single mom. We have celebrated each birthday with her since. My heart aches.
