Hi Everyone,

Well… the time has finally come.  Nearly 7 months later, after numerous tests, poking and prodding, I have finally reached the end of the pre-transplant process and have been rewarded with a date.

On February 9, 2010, I will undergo my third kidney transplant!

Yesterday, Friday, I completed the last two procedures that were required before moving onto the transplant surgery.  And this Monday, the 11th, mom and I will go in to have our final blood crossmatch, EKG, x-rays, and meet with the transplant doctors and surgeons.

What an exciting time!  I can’t thank you enough for your prayers and support going through this process and leading up to the transplant.  It’s been a challenging few months, but the time has gone by quickly.  I am fortunate and blessed to have my mom available as the donor, and look forward to the good health her kidney will provide me for years to come!
