UPDATE

We FINALLY got to keep and go to Brynnah's appointment on the 5th! Her appointment went well....but we did find out that she hasn't really grown and she hasn't gained any weight. So, they increased her calories a little so hopefully she gain a little bit of weight! We also met with the service coordinator for transplant services and she said that after some blood work results were in that they would introduce her file to the Doc over Transplant Services. If he gave the OK they would then present her file to the whole Board. If they gave the OK she would officially be "TRANSPLANTABLE". So that's terrific news...still a ways away but one step closer right? We asked about when we could start the testing for Ryan to see if his kidney is compatible....they said that we have to call someone to get the paperwork started and we have to see the results for Brynnah's blood work. They took a TON of blood for the tests that they did....It was like 6 viles full! She was soooo BRAVE! We go back in 6 weeks and will find out more about when she can possibly get a new kidney. Hopefully we will find out the results from her blood work in about 3 weeks. So we will be keeping everyone posted. Thank you all so much for all your prayers on our family's behalf. We love you all very much. Thanks for all your love and support.

I guess it is a hurry up and wait thing. :) We miss you guys! How did the chimes work? I'm glad that things are going well. We pray for you often. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Glad to hear that things are looking promising! Hopefully soon everything will finally be ready to go! I am so sad that I missed the other night! My computer hasn't been working, and I finally think that I got it fixed. Fingers crossed it will work when I restart it! Leah is finally feeling a little better, she still is coughing, but she isn't contagious any more from what the doc said on Fri. So, it's up to you if you want to get together this week. Let me know! HOpe you had fun the other night!
