At 8:00 this morning, Scott went in to surgery. All went well. On the way home, he started getting sick. Now we are sitting here resting. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Gallbladder surgery consultation
Well...we went in to see Dr. Hemrick this afternoon and well, Scott will be getting his gallbladder out on March 28th (next Wednesday) at 8:00 am. We will have to be at Integris at 5:30 in the morning...whew...early! If all goes well he'll be back on his feet in about a week and fully recovered in three.
On the kidney front... Scott goes in tomorrow morning for his next blood test with another possible donor. Pending those results, we will know what happens next.
Thanks for all your love and prayers!

News
Well, where to begin...
Last Friday, Scott found out that his gallbladder is not draining correctly. We will be going on Monday to the surgeon for a consultation to get it out. Hopefully, we will be able to do this next week. We also learned that he will not be able to have his kidney transplant for 3-5 months after getting his gallbladder out.
This past week, Scott's dad and stepmom (John and Robin) came in for a visit and testing. We have had a lot of fun this week. We will miss them very much! Last night, we found out that John will not be able to give Scott a kidney. The nephrologist discovered that there is calcium buildup in his kidneys. This is normal and okay for John, but would not be healthy enough for what Scott needs. Needless to say, we are all pretty bummed, but everything happens for a reason. Whatever it may be, God has a plan and everything that is happening is in all of our best interests. (easier said that believed sometimes, but it is the truth).
We are now looking at this news as an opportunity to do some fundraising and get Scott a little healthier with dialysis before the transplant. We have a couple of things planned and as soon as we know dates we will let everyone know.

March update
Wow. So much has happened since our last our last update. At Scott's last clinical, the doctor decided that he needed more fluid during the course of dialysis. So now, he does 13L a night. At first, it was kind of a pain, but Scott seems to be getting used to it. They also found out that he had to have is gallbladder checked. He did that last Tuesday. We're still waiting on the results. The big thing here is if there is something wrong with his gallbladder, then it will have to be removed before he can have his transplant.
Next Sunday, Scott's dad will be coming in to finalize his testing to be Scott's donor. For those of you who don't know, Scott's dad is a match. He may get mad at me for telling the world, but I think it's awesome. So he will be here for a week with us.
Other than that, things on the home front seem to be going well. Any time Raylee sees Scott's catheter entrance she says "Daddy boo boo." I don't think she's sure what to think. Sleep has entered our home again. This is a plus. We are working on some pretty cool ideas for fundraising so stay tuned! The one thing that you can do for us until then is share this link with everyone you know. There is also a link to the right that you can help us share for donations. Any little bit helps.
