Today, Dave is being honored at Saline High School’s baseball diamond before the doubleheader against Dexter High School. Saline youth baseball teams were invited to today’s game in support of Dave’s fight against cancer, and for cancer awareness as well. Coach Joe Welton and his friend Brian Sayers painted the cancer ribbon behind home plate. It is apropos that the finishing touch on this whole day included adding No. 28. to the design. Coach Welton planned this day around a man he admires and a game that he loves. We tip our hat to him and for the abundance of support he continues to generate for Dave and our family.

Our grandson, Easton Sontag, threw out the first pitch of the game. What an honor for the Sontag family. Watch here.

Finally, the following is an update of the CAR T-Cell infusion process. Thus far, the side effects have been minimal, thanks to the low burden of cancer entering Wednesday’s infusion. We are on high alert, as we wait for anything to come our way. It is like watching paint dry. Or maybe it’s like sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic waiting for it to finally open up and start moving. Better yet, it’s like the grass we planted last year with ten long days of waiting for results. Most importantly, I hope you are thinking what I am thinking. Four days into the prayer challenge, which was posted on Tuesday, I tip my hat to the One above Who is listening and responding to all our prayers.
