Update


I thought it was about time I posted an update to my last blog.  I seem to have figured out the culprit of my severe nausea and it has improved nearly 100% -- PTL! 

I also am ultra-thankful to share with you that I have officially been placed on the national transplant wait list!  This is a huge answer to prayer!  I would ask that you would continue to pray that God would supply the right kidney in His timing.

Now that I have the clearance it just a matter of finding a deceased donor match or a living donor interested in paired-organ donation. 

If there is anyone still interested in donation you can get more info and/or start the testing process by talking to the living donor coordinator -- Susan Young, her number is 405-949-3816 or toll free 888-949-3816.

Before I sign off for the night I wanted to mention one other praise/prayer request.  I’ve been having some issues with my dialysis catheter exit site – mainly its just been an irritation, but in the last week its really become tender with other visible signs of concern.  I went in today to have it checked and had it cultured and started an antibiotic.  I think I caught it pretty early – Praise God!  I would appreciate your prayers for my wisdom in taking care of it and that it would heal quickly of all infection.  Thanks for your continued prayers!
