My brother, Matt, is going to be the one to proceed with the testing process and I will be the backup. They are wanting to do the transplant as early as August. Again, I'll keep y'all posted.

Well, I found out today that both me and my brother, Matt, are matches for my sister. We will find out tomorrow if they have a preference as to which one of us can donate. I'll keep you updated.
Also, my Dad called to say that he is taking my Papaw to the hospital. Not sure if it is serious yet but please pray. To my knowledge, he has never been saved so I hope to be able to talk to him about this tonight. Please pray that he is receptive to this. Again, I don't know yet what exactly is wrong or if it is serious but, he is 92 years old.
Thanks.

Sarah


It is official. For those of you that don't know...my sister, Sarah has a rare form of kidney disease. It is to the point that she needs a kidney transplant. She was officially put on the waiting list today. My brother, Matt, and I went to Methodist on Monday to do the necessary tests to see who, if either of us, will be a match to donate a kidney. We are hopeful that a family member will be a match and we won't have to worry about her waiting for a kidney on the list. We should find out in a week or so if either of us are compatible. If you would, please pray that we will quickly find a match so that she will still be in pretty good shape when they do the transplant. Also, Jonathan and I, along with the rest of my family, plan to organize a benefit for her and her family. She will have a long, unpaid leave from work after the transplant is over. If anyone is interested in helping or being a part of this in any way, just let me know. If not, it would be great for people to just show up. We hope to get this planned and underway soon...so details will follow soon. If nothing else, please just say a prayer that everything goes smoothly during this process. Thanks...love all of you.
