Dear praying Friends and Family!
We made it to California and had the 1st session with Patrick’s brother’s medical team at Stanford Cancer Center. We praise the Lord for such a great team! Patrick’s brother Mike Carder was diagnosed with Leukemia (AML), and he is in need of Patrick’s stem cells.
And, we thank the Lord that, while we were waiting in the lobby, there comes Patrick’s brother in a wheelchair, pushed by his wife Ursula! We had a wonderful time catching up! We were hoping & praying that we would be able to see Mike, even just through a glass window, but we were prepared if not…The Lord is so good!
So, Patrick will have the 1st of 4 injections starting on Oct, 16th, and then one everyday, until the collection of his stem cells on Oct. 20th. They will then be transferred to his brother Mike on Oct, 22nd. We will be in the hospital that day to pray for the procedure. Please pray with us!
We probably will not see Mike for a while, since he has to stay in the hospital for about a month…
Thanks for praying with us and for us!
In Him!
Patrick and Karen
