In a couple of weeks we'll know more....

Just a quick update to let everyone know some potentially very positive news...
 A dear friend of Patrick's from Raleigh has been tested, and he is a match for Patrick!  Their DNA is compatible, and they both have blood type O.  An appointment is scheduled for Oct 19 to determine if he is a healthy candidate.  The screenings include x-rays, ultra-sounds, MRI, EKG, psych eval and more.  If he is cleared after the results from all these tests come back, then the transplant could happen, possibly before the end of the year!  It is SUCH A BLESSING to have a friend who would make this sacrifice.  We could not be more grateful or more hopeful.  I will share info with you all as soon as we know more.
In the meantime, Patrick is still living in Raleigh, unable to transfer his dialysis treatments to Greensboro because of a Medicare policy.  This has been very frustrating for everyone, but now feels like a minor set-back as we are looking towards a more positive future outcome.
Thank you all for your support and love.
Peace be with you~
