Hi Lynne,

Thanks for the update. I will keep them both in my prayers, and especially

for Matt's 24 hour blood pressure monitoring. Please let us know on Friday how

it went ok?

[Guest guest]

I will keep both your precious sons in my prayers.

Wonderful news!! I donated to my son, and I was thrilled to be able to do

it, but I can¹t imagine how I would have felt if my other son had been a

match and both my sons were going into surgery. I will keep you all in my

prayers.

Have a very thankful Thanksgiving -

Thank you for the prayers. I wanted to donate to my son also, but I was a 3 out

of 6 match. His brother was 6 out of 6. Let's hope the final cross matching is

that strong also.

Lynne,

I was a 4/6 match for my son and the only one in the immediate family with

the right blood type, so we thought 4 out of 6 was very good. How wonderful

to have a perfect match! Good luck to all -

Dear Lynne,

Where in North Carolina are you going to have your transplant? I live

just south of Charlotte in South Carolina. Good luck on all of the

testing. If the donor had an ingrown toenail they will test that. What

I am saying is that when my donor was being tested, we would think that

we were OK, then the docs would say that one thing or another didn't

look exactly right and they would test them for a problem there. The

big testing day can be a really roller coaster day.

Tony,

Thank you for your wonderfully articulate post. I am overjoyed your brother

came through for you. Please have someone post on your behalf to let us

know how the surgery goes. I know that I for one will be waiting to hear

the good news.

St. Barnabus in Livingston.... I can still remember the place. It seemed

so enormous when it first came to town!
