THANKFUL

I am so thankful for all the friends and family that have been praying for us as we have been on this journey.

When we went to Florida we had an experience that showed us what being ungrateful looked like. I never want anyone to think I am ungrateful.

May our family always show gratitude.

Insurance, MELD Scores, etc

While we were in Florida we got the call that Mike had been accepted by the insurance company to receive the transplant. When he told them we were in Florida they were a little shocked; however, they understood and told him to get his bloodwork done when he got back into town.

So, on April 21st he was officially added to the UNOS list to receive a donor transplant.

The other good news was that his bloodwork had improved and his MELD score had dropped. He is no longer in the top 10 so now we are just waiting.

I think the sunshine does alot for one's attitude and mental health. All the sun tanned him up and made him feel better (he drove the whole way back by himself).

The past few days Mike hasn't felt well again. If he starts feeling real bad, he has to go have more bloodwork and get a new MELD score. In the meantime, we wait.

Transplant List

Yesterday Mike was presented to the transplant conference and they accepted him for listing. He will do fresh bloodwork when we return from vacation and then he will be listed (as long as his insurance company approves it.)

We are heading in the right direction.
