kidney transplant update

well, we got some bad news from roger today at the mayo clinic. he can not donate his kidney. i am still very gratefull that he went through this for me. i guess it is back to the waiting game here, oh wait that is all we have been doing. ben are i are still staying positive. dialysis is of course not fun and it was a ruff week this week(rxn to meds, getting sick and the usual crap), but what can you do? keep living it up in AK!
i finally have my camera back from dan who took it too this ice camp 170 miles north of prudhoe bay on the beaufort sea in the arcitc ocean. the ice sheet was moving 5-10miles a day, the trip looked awesome from the pics anyway. above is the ice camp at sunset. dan and bill from our lab group went on this trip and collected snow samples, but this is the dive hole other researchers went in and it is moving so they had to swim with flippers to keep near the exit-man that would freak me out, the ice was moving so fast they could barely keep up.
