Prayers for Joel

I am linking today from Kelly's Korner to ask for prayer for my brother, Joel. He is a childhood survivor of ALL Leukemia. Joel is our walking miracle and was in remission for 20 years when he was diagnosed two months ago with Mylodesplacia due to chemotherapy he endured as a child. We were told in February that Joel has 6-9 months to live if he does not receive a bone marrow transplant. My brother has a rare protein in his DNA that makes it difficult to match him. We pray for peace for Joel and our family during this difficult time. We also pray for the potential transplant donors and their willingness to donate blood saving marrow. Thank you for praying for Joel. If you are interested in becoming a bone marrow donor, please visit be the match.org. "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord. Whose confidence is in him". Jeremiah 17:7.
