1 1/2 hours before heading to the Airport yesterday for my flight to Germany and Pullman I cancelled the flight. Yep. Cancelled
The reason? It was at that time the transplant doctor called and said to get to the hospital that afternoon as a kidney that matched was avaiable and it was Gwens...Gwen and I were blown away to say the least. She had a call in December and did not. get that kidney. She had a call 3 weeks ago and did not get that kidney. So it did not look good for another call for a while. But we got THE call.
The timing could not have been closer as another 4 hours and I was gone for at least 24 hours to get back
The neat thing is that I have had a gut feeling for the last 2 months that the call would come sometime before I left for Germany. I just never thought it would be a matter of only a couple hours
Anyways. She had been in her room recovering for the past 6 hours or better and is doing very very well. The operation was a complete success as far as transplants go.
If you believe in prayer please keep her in yours and otherwise if you just keep her in your thoughts is great too
This is a game changer for us and an absolute Godsend Miracle as Gwen so deserved a better shot at life
