SUMMERTIME and the livin' is easy...but not for everyone.

Hi friends. My neighbor Seth Miller (his wife owns Boing Boing in Park Slope, Brooklyn) is going in for the next phase of his bone marrow transplant. He is being admitted tomorrow for a min of 3-8 wks. Would you cook a meal for them? ...it's such a simple way that we can care for them. They need it.

 THE MILLERS (sans Seth)

My neighbors may not be strangers to you. If you are a parent or have bought baby gifts or maternity essentials at Boing Boing Maternity on Union St. in Park Slope, you probably at least know of my neighbors Seth and Karen Miller.

Together they have two young teens, Sophie and Asa, and they own this mommy/baby-essentials shop. This past year Karen had to close her second store, Boing, because they discovered that Seth is battling a relapse of "Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cancer of the lymphoid tissue, which includes the lymph nodes, spleen, and other organs of the immune system."

Only this time Seth won't get away with "just" chemo. Today he had a rituxen treatment that lasted from 10am-4pm!! Only a small fraction of what he has experience over the past year to get him to this point.

In a matter of days Seth will receive a bone marrow transplant, which can cause extreme flu-like symptoms and more. Seth's recovery can take anywhere from 8-12 weeks while he is under care and observation at Sloan Kettering in Manhattan.

Extraordinary measures will be taken to ensure that his crippled immune system is not compromised during this time while they are waiting to see if his body accepts the donor marrow. This journey could be a tough one, but with your prayers, love, and support we can make it more bearable.

Thank you for your kind and selfless support!
For those who want to donate to help the Millers, any amount is appreciated :)
