Great news!

We just heard yesterday that Sam is a match for Mark! This is absolutely amazing! I still can't really believe it! There are still a few more tests that Sam has to undergo to be given the "ok" to donate one of his kidneys--a whole body physical that will ensure Sam is healthy enough to undergo this surgery. This takes about 5-10 days (at least that is what the Mayo Clinic told Sam) and if this all goes through it could be a go! The transplant could be a month out from those results.

In the meantime, Mark is still busy with finding a job. He has an interview today and a couple of them tomorrow. He always struggles with how he should tell a future possible employer about his dialysis. He has been honest and upfront, but that has not worked. I have to give Mark credit, he has an enormous amount of drive and never gives up!

AHHHH, I have this crazy feeling that the next few months will be crazy! (Cross your fingers for all great test results with Sam)
