OK Freepers, It's time for y'all to work your magic again!
Cajun Mike here, and I was asked by Chris' family today to post this update. Chris has what the doctors are calling aplastic anemia, and is definitely in need of a bone marrow transplant. Care is needed to guard against infection among other things since Chris' blood counts (white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets) are low. His spirits are good (he's laughing and joking), but is constantly fatigued as a result of the anemia.
Chris has blood type O positive, and the family is making a request to the general public for consideration of someone with this blood type becoming a transplant donor. From my understanding, a blood sample is all that is required to determine whether someone is a candidate to be a donor. My wife is going to be one of the (hopefully) many volunteers willing to be typed for a possible match. I believe that there will soon be a local (southern California) press release also making this same request for possible donors.
Chris and Melany have come too far to give up hope now. Please do all that you can to get the word out for this very important request.
Sincere thanks,
Cajun Mike
