I am in a state of complete and utter shock right now.    They have accepted my sis-in-law as a donor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:    I couldn't believe my ears when she said it.  I have many questions as to why her and not my 1st brother.  If I understood her correctly last week she said she had "200 mcg protein in her 24-hr".  They denied my brother with 168 mcg protein in his 24-hr urine.  Maybe I misunderstood.  Maybe my brother had something other than the protein.  Maybe my brother changed his mind.  ???  Many questions and many prayers of thanks!

She meets with a surgeon on Wednesday to discuss the surgery, recovery, etc.  Apparently, she was told we couldn't schedule anything until after Nov 4th anyway.  I see my neph on 10/09, so after I get back from VEGAS BABY we may be scheduling surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!  That's all I can say at this time.   :grouphug;    Now let's everyone pray that we have no obstacles that prevent this from happening!
