Maybe next time...

I recieved a phone call this morning that Jordan will not be able to give me one of his kidneys. He only has one working and the other just isn't doing a thing. I am sure it was a surprise to him and his family....so please keep them in your prayers.

John and I can't thank Jordan and Jenny enough for trying to make this happen. Also, thank you to his extended family as well. Many people live fine with just one working kidney and have no problems whatsoever. Jordan will be one of them.

Jordan is still my hero...

Sorry...not been in a posting mood

I am sorry about the lack of posts. I am anxious to get the results of MUSC on Jordan. He goes in tomorrow and Thursday for testing. I have been really tired lately too. My procrit was adjusted and I think the past 5 or 6 days have been like a blur. I need toothpicks to hold my eyelids up. :-)

The good news is that I get another round of procrit tonight, so I should have a burst of energy the next couple of days. Please say a extra prayer for Jordan, Jenny, and all their family the next few days. Please say a prayer that the transplant team can answer all their questions and address any concerns they may have. I am looking forward to hearing from the 2 of them tomorrow night.

I started taking vitamin D-3 last friday. Hence, another break down of my kidneys not performing correctly. I will have to do more research on renal failure and its association with having to supplement with vitamin D-3.

Let Me Introduce You To Jordan...

Jordan is my match and potential donor. He is Jenny's husband. If you visit my other blog, you probably know that Jenny is a good friend and a co-worker of mine. BTW she is in her last trimester of pregnancy!

I met Jordan nearly 3 years ago. My first impression of him was that he was quiet, looked really young with that babyface of his, and very serious! LOL Now, I know that he loves to talk about computers, sports (especially the Clemson Tigers), loves his family, likes to have fun, and has a GOOD heart......and hopefully a good kidney too. ;-)

This is him with his daughter Suzi. He is a very patient,kind father to her.



And this is Jenny who is pregnant with their second daughter. I absolutely love this picture. (Hope you don't mind Jenny...your belly looks beautiful)

I plan on talking more about him and his family soon. It will be an interesting few months if all goes as planned. After a few blood tests, we found out that he is a match to me. He goes next week to be evaluated by MUSC for 2 days. They will check on his heart, lungs, kidneys, and be evaluated by transplant team in detail on his health. When he is done with MUSC, he probably will feel like a guinea pig....but to me he is a hero.
