Hey all, I got a phone call last night that there was a 6 out of 6 antigen match kidney available for me. I'm currently sitting in the hospital, waiting for the results of the cross-match. They should have that in about two hours, and if all is good, I'll be in surgery hopefully sometime tonight.  :yahoo;

That's as excited as I'm going to get until I'm in the recovery room, though. I went through this a month ago and it didn't pan out, but maybe things will be different this time around. Keep me and the donor's family in your prayers. I'll let you know more as soon as I can. Thanks, guys!
