Sorry to hear your thanksgiving plans didnt go as planed, (but plans never do
).
Im sure you know you just have to sit back and let them do it how ever they feel comfortable, and if you want to offer to assist them then you can and maybe that will help get the process moving along. You mom is going to have to do lots of test any way if she is a match, so maybe she will get some done now that will save time later. I offered to help my donors w things that i knew were frustrating for them, I got to help w some things, but most they did wo help or w the help of others. I get agitated, because I think "it is totally possible to have gotten that done by now" but I just have to tell myself that in reality I have no Idea what it would be like in there shoes.
Its always hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait.
Good luck
Girl
