Update

Hi Everyone....

So here is the latest....

Mom and Pop went to Cleveland yesterday; the Kidney team let them know that Pop needs a kidney. However, they will only list him and grant the transplant if the Liver Team decides that he in fact needs a liver as well.

The whole situation is like a ping-pong game sometimes with all of this. Emotions are a bit ping-pongy as well. The Liver Team appointment is scheduled for November 5th, but Mom will be calling today to see about moving that up a bit further - hopefully quite a bit. For now, Pop will continue with dialysis and we will wait and see what happens.

Please keep those prayers coming.

Love to you all,

~Susan, Jennifer, Karen, and of course, Ray

Kidney Evaluation Day

Hi All -

I know it has been awhile, but there really has not been too much to update you all on. Pop is doing ok. He has still been going to dialysis every week, 3 times a week. He and mom (and Uncle Charlie) have been doing some landscaping in the yard. I would describe it to you, but Mom still can't figure out how to send me pictures in an email! Someone teach that woman, will ya?

Mom and Pop are off to Cleveland today for Pop's Kidney Evaluation. Now, honestly, I am not 100% sure what that really means. I am pretty sure there will be at least one blood test involved, and I believe Mom mentioned that they had to go to 3 or 4 different meetings.

As I hear more, I will post updates. It may not be until tomorrow though, but we'll see.

Happy thoughts to all!

Love,

~Susan
