I got the call from my transplant center last Wednesday that I have a 6/6 match! I was released from the hospital on Tuesday and stayed in a hotel last night and after my followup tomorrow morning I get to go home and see my children. Prayers are answered! I will write more later but right now it hurts to sit up straight.
