A little bit of everything

First off, happy 21 years of marriage to the best man in the world! He has stuck with me through the thick and thin.  He's been there in the good times and bad times.  We've prayed together, laughed, cried, and held each other tight through the storms.  Just to think, we are just about the age of our parents when we got married. I am so thankful for you, babe and there's no one else I'd want to have with journey with, but you. I love you so much!  Thank you for loving me the way you do!

I left you hanging after surgery. Sorry.  Obviously all is well thankfully.  They admitted me that Monday night and hydrated me since my creatinine is high.  I was to be the first case Tuesday morning, but was bumped to second case.  The transplant Dr's came in explaining that usually the cause of my issue is due to rejection. I rested as much as I could before going down since I was fighting a migraine.  Transport came to get me and I was teasing him about singing to me when I became super nauseous.  I got sick, but felt immediately better.  When I got down to OR, they huddled and I prayed with them, then before I was put into sleepy land, they had to put the tube down my nose since I had thrown up, they didn't want me to aspirate.  I tried getting them to do it once I was out, but couldn't.  With a few tears n lots of swallows with no water, the tube made it down.  I had an answer to prayer.  Thankfully there was no rejection and they were able to just revise the stoma. He said that adhesions were pulling it down.  I was discharged on Friday and had a follow up appt on Monday.  All looked good, so I was able to come home. We go back for a check up on November 13.  

This Saturday is a very special day for me.  I am meeting my donors family.  Lots of emotions are going through me and I'm sure with them also.  I'm nervous and excited.  They are a sweet family.  We've talked on the phone and text each other.  I can't wait! Please keep us in prayer as I'm sure it will be a bittersweet day. 

Thankful to God for all He has done!  I am blessed beyond measure! I can't thank you for all your love and prayers for me. God has brought me this far and I know He will continue to carry me through.  I just need to keep my faith in Him.  He knows what's best for me and knows my tomorrow.  He is so Faithful.  

Love, 

Jamie
