7 Months

Today is 7 months!  Today is actually a day for celebration..We arrived to dialysis to find out he would be running for 2.5 hours...not 3!!!  That half hour less is going to feel great!!  If his pre and post labs come back where they need to be, we will stay at this time!!
We also had some "big" events happen this week :

Consent for Transplant!

Mark's consent for transplant was signed this week.  Our call list was submitted so they can find us when it's time!
We also had his labs drawn again earlier in the week...specifically for his PTH level.  We last left off at about 1900, then surprisingly it came back in the 460's.  Needing to be under 500 for listing we where there...almost!  We were told that we need to have a second PTH drawn with results under 500.  The labs came back again yesterday...491..yay we did it!  To make this day even better, I just spoke with the doctor and he said that was it!  They will not do another PTH draw...never again :)  

This means it is time to be listed!  On August 2nd he will officially be activated.  Our wait at that point will be anywhere from about 12 hours to 100 days.  There is also a small chance we can get the call, and it can be a false alarm.  In that case they are making that last minute change for a reason.  I'm certainly hopeful that it will all happen the with first call!

Just a few pictures of Mark over the last month...We had hoped we would be somewhere different now....but all in all this last month wasn't so bad.  I am looking forward to going away with Chris to celebrate our anniversary next weekend.  We will be refreshed and ready to roll for the second half of this journey!
