My brothers girlfriend Caralee has shown interest to donate. She was interested a couple years ago but for personal reasons couldn't. She told me on Thanksgiving she is going on Tuesday November 27th for the blood test. I am not going to get any hopes up. I have learned not to. I know i will be in your prayers. Thank you all for your love and support. Lets cross our fingers. :grouphug; :beer1; :thumbup;

Keefer, I am like you-I don't get my hopes up.  I will think good thoughts on the 27th and pray that this is the "match".  You deserve it!

Yeah, one day at a time...
I've taken that to the extreme...my best friends are each getting a day-at-a-time calendar, just as a reminder that if this can happen to me, it can happen to them, so enjoy life while you can (of course, one of the calendars is the Sports Illustrated swimsuit calendar, so that will make it easier to enjoy each day!!)

Good luck Keefer...
