Darius' oncology team originally thought he could be treated with chemotherapy alone. It turns out, that's not going to happen. So, he needs a stem cell transplant, but no one in his family is a match for donation.
Donating stem cells is not painful. It's very similar to donating blood. It takes a few hours, you don't have to travel to do it, and you could save someone's life. bethematch.org

I started to shovel my walk but I got tired. Luckily, it’s supposed to get warmer and turn to rain overnight so I came in to make banana bread donuts instead.
take your favorite banana bread recipe
(if you don't have a favorite, google "easy banana bread" and go with the one with the fewest ingredients)
add 2 extra eggs and 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
scoop into donut pan
bake for 25 minutes
Thank you all for asking about my husband. I'm sorry I haven't been updating here. I'm updating on FB because that's where all of his family and friends are. Feel free to follow or friend me there.
1/ My husband has been feeling poorly for a few days and decided to go in to be tested for COVID-19.
Instead, we just found out that he has AML: acute myeloid leukemia.
Or I should say, *he* found out. Alone.
They won't let me visit him.
Because of COVID-19.
2/ You probably don't know my husband and for that, I am truly sorry that you haven't met the best man I've ever known. This is a guy who opted to work with COVID-19 patients in the ICU instead of tele-health because he couldn't just sit by and watch.
3/3 I could go on and on about how amazing he is, but I'm completely broken. Please spare a thought for my hubs tonight. He went from thinking he might have COVID to getting a bone marrow biopsy, chemotherapy, and a minimum 4-6 week hospital stay within the course of a few hours.
