It's a GO!



as of yesterday, Dea and Trevor's cross match #s were still in the 330s (need to be under 300 for a transplant) but after more treatment for Dea and another blood test this morning....297! Trevor started his surgery at 12:40 and Dea at 1:30. The Great Midwestern Kidney Swap is underway! thanks to everyone for the positive thoughts.

i'll keep posting here as time allows.

Go 297! Great thoughts for everyone! Next time you are in those robes, you are going to need martinis!

So, if you tell them you're from Alaska do you still get anesthesia or just two shots of whiskey and a stick to bite on? Hope all's going well.

Lots of love to all you guys,
