Yesterday, I heard from my potential donor that we are a match! We both had lab work done last Thursday and the results were negative (no reaction - a good thing) so she can continue with more in-depth testing now! She also said that there was an opening in the surgery schedule for April 29th, so if they can get her testing done before then and if everything looks good, we can do the transplant that day. They’ve penciled us in already! We are so excited to receive this news and so thankful to God for answering our prayers thus far. Please continue to pray for the testing – that all would go smoothly and we would be able to move forward with the transplant at the end of April!
You may be wondering who this “she” is, so I’ll be happy to tell you! Her name is Amy Whyatt and she attends our church in Norman, Oklahoma – Wildwood Community Church. Actually, I think I will let her tell you the story. Here is an e-mail I received from her on February 13th.
