Good news and not so good news. We are now able to test people for potential donors for Michael. Not so good news is I am not a match. Apparently Michael has a rare blood type and it will probably be pretty hard to find a donor. We will test some family members and work from there he may have to be put on the list. We are really hopeful someone will be a match for him.  My family and Ted's family all want to be a donor. According to the transplant coordinator a live donor is better than a cadaver but a cadaver kidney still has good results after transplant.

Ted and I thought it went fairly well. We are pleased things are moving forward. No matter what happens or how it happens and/or however long it takes Michael will get his kidney. Of that we know.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers and we will keep you posted of this blessed event. We are excited to see this happen and can't wait to keep the ball rolling.

As I have said before thanks for all of your support. It really helps to know there are people out there praying for Michael.

I also want to extend special thanks to my job. My office manager, the doctors and my supervisors have been amazingly supportive through all of this. I could not do this without them. I really work with the greatest bunch of people.
