My donor is a match! I cant believe it my sensitization level is at 93 and she is a match! Wow!! Well they said that we will be having the transplant surgery in around 6 months from now because my donor had a baby recently so we have to wait til than to have the surgery but other than that they said its a go! I said I could wait 6 months, Ive already waited 6 years..LoL  |

Nice to read this news Neo, now the wait begins but at least you're waiting towards a certain time. I've got everything crossed that all will go as planned and that the time flies by for you both. Living donors really do rock our worlds in the best possible ways.  |
