More Tests Less Meds


We are sitting in Dad's hospital room. April has been reading him all your comments. He and Mom both love to hear your words of encouragement and love. So please continue to leave them.

Right now is when your support is most needed. This disease takes a toll physically, mentally AND emotionally.

The Gleevic he has been taking as part of his chemotherapy might have had a bad reaction on his liver so they have taken him off of all his medications. He is consistently nauseated, extremely tired and has been feeling really, really down.

Mike, April, Karen and I have been able to spend time with him here tonight and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing him smile and hearing him laugh. We do all we can to keep his mind off the cancer and on positive memories and uplifting news.

The doctors are trying to get to the bottom of these issues he has been having lately. He needs to be in better health before they do the bone marrow transplant. Three of his siblings were a match so now they are doing further testing to find the most perfect match for him.

Dad appreciates your love and support and especially your faith and prayers so much. Thank you for checking up on his progress. We will continue to post updates as much as possible.

  5. Thought you might want to know that the Molgard family has you all in our prayers, especially Earl. We aren't sure what else to do, but appreciate the updates so we know specifically what to pray for. Miracles happen!(McKay was just set apart as Elder's Quorum Pres. and has been through the Temple, is going to college with hopes of going to medical school...) You can have you own miracle. You all deserve it!!!! Love you!
    Max & Bette
