    kidney transplant

    A friend of ours is having a kidney transplant the 15th. He had a donar lined up, but it turned out that the donar had cancer, so he was out. Happy to find out, but what a shock. Well, Russell is a teacher in Columbus, Ga, and his wife is a teacher on post at Ft. Benning with my wife. She decided to go through the screening process and found out that she was a perfect match! Russell is already at Emory in Atlanta, his wife was headed up there yesterday after school. Lori and I went to their home to get some plants to tend to while they're in the hospital, and a son will be house sitting. Keep them in your prayers, they are probably being prepped as I write this...and I know the Mrs. Is scared and nervous. I told her just enjoy the time off from work, and Lori and I gave her a hug and a prayer before we left.

    Prayers for them both. My wife was given a kidney by a friend 17 years ago. All is still well. The procedure and drugs have improved in those 17 years.

    Father please be with Russell and his wife as they go through the surgery to heal Russell. Please be with both transplant teams and guide them as they try to heal Russell. Please take and fear away and allow the surgeries to go without a hitch. Father, lastly I pray that you give comfort and healing to these two as they heal after surgery. AMEN

    My wife got a picture of Russell "ringing the Bell" at the hospital. I got to do that when they finished my Chemo... His wife will be getting discharged soon, but neither is supposed to leave the Atlanta are for a while.
    Thanks for the prayers.....!

    Got news from Russell's wife today via Facebook. His kidney is showing medium signs of rejection. He had to go back to Emory and is undergoing a massive amount of antirejection meds. Y'all keep praying!

    Have a good friend who donated a kidney to his own brother, that is about 20 years ago and both are still doing well. It is a rare grace that has touched both lives, the donor and recipient. Prayers for the best in both families.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.
