Hi Everyone, :bandance;
 
I don't get to post much. I come here everyday and read and but run out of time to post. We do home hemo and I take care of everything else because my husband is just not able. We received call from Washington Hospital Center at 2:30 this morning that they have a perfect match kidney for my husband Len. It is being flown in from Houston Texas this morning. Len will be admitted to WHC at 9:00 am this morning with the surgery taking place as soon as kidney arrives. PLEASE pray that all goes well. He has been through so much for so long that it is about time something good happens.
 
I will not have access to a computer, so I'll let everyone know something when we get home.
 
LOTS OF PRAYERS PLEASE
 
I know this extended family will be thinking of him. Thanks so much to everyone for everything. :thx;
Kathy
