Greetings,
We arrived in southwest Kansas last night around 10:45pm!!!!! It is so good to be back at home. Danna had another good day on dialysis yesterday. There was an issue that came up with the transplant team of doctors and nurses, but Danna quickly clarified reality for them, so all is well. We have learned that when you go through any medical process, you are your best advocate. Danna has had to experience "doctor drama" a couple of times, it just shouldn't happen, but she is staying the course and keeping her eye on the plan. I completed my last test on Thursday and received the "final" approval from the transplant board on Friday. We will head back to Wichita on Monday morning to get back in time for her to have dialysis. Next Wednesday, both of us will have another blood test completed for a final cross matching to ensure and verify our compatibility. Then on Thursday, both of us will go into the hospital for a morning of re-testing, evaluations, and histories. All of the pre-admission testing will also be completed. We will keep you posted on all our activities for next week in preparation for March 17th!!
God Bless,
Deanna
