Karroll is a Match!!!! Praise God!!!

We received the call today from the transplant coordinator from Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital. Karroll is a match and will donate one of his kidneys to Major. It will take place this summer as soon as we can get everything organized. Karroll is having a complete physical tomorrow with his doctor and a few more blood tests to make sure he is currently healthy and Major has blood work scheduled for next week. Then Karroll will fly out to California to have a 3D scan of his body to look at his kidneys and structure of his body for the transplant surgeon and he will meet with the team that will take out his kidney. So that is why I do not anticipate this to happen before mid June at the earliest.

We will need some help with the girls this summer. If anyone can help take care of the girls , I would like to organize dates among all of our dear relatives and friends. The girls are expecting to have a fun filled vacation type summer. Remember anything away from home is a vacation to them. So let me know if you have some extra time or energy during the summer. I also need a volunteer, maybe Mother Myrna or one of KK's sisters to go with us during the initial transplant time to help me care for both of them after surgery. Major and Karroll will be in separate hospitals that are connected, but I can't be in two places at once. I'll continue to keep you posted with more exciting drama as it unfolds before our eyes!!
