Transplant News

Wednesday was a big day fro us. Emily had her transplant evaluation. We arrived at Cedars-Sinai at 7:45 am...ugh! Then met with the transplant team, Urologist, Surgeon, Financial coordinator, Nurse Coordinator, Social Worker, Dietitian, and had an EKG. That took about 5 hours...then on to get labs done (20 viles of blood) and a chest x-ray. These people are the best in their fields and we feel like we are in good hands. It was a lot of information to take in, but all looks good. Emily will be placed on the National Kidney recipient list as soon as the Transplant committee reviews all of the tests. That should be about 2 weeks. Once Emily is placed, they will start testing me. They say if all goes well and I match, we should plan for transplant in about 2 months. We are excited to get this going. Thank you to all who continue to pray. It helps!
