Kate and I spent this morning driving out to Lake Placid
with her parents. Our nephews Gage and Cooper
were scheduled to be baptized today. They
had a very nice service and a wonderful lunch afterwards and we were back home
by 4, in plenty of time for the Superbowl.
Our church does a Superbowl for the city party for the homeless that I have
been a part of for the last several years, and ran the food portion of last
year, but when Kate and I got back we decided after the 12 hour work day
yesterday and the long travel today that we would be homebodies tonight so we
made some buffalo wings and fries and watched from our house, a much needed
night of relaxation.
I hope you don’t mind posting the bible verses today. I didn’t have time to but a blog out and I am
going to write something about that passage tomorrow. When 2012 started Kate and I were expecting
to have our case go before the board for approval to donate, and it did. The only problem was that it turned out that
the nephrologist that saw us at UNC also had consulted on Ashley’s case. According to North Carolina law I am required
to see an independent nephrologist that isn’t involved in Ashley’s case so we
would be required to see a different nephrologist before they could approve me.
At first I thought I might have to go to a transplant center
to see one, which the closest is Miami, but it turns out it could be any
nephrologist, so we found one in West Palm Beach. If you have been reading the blog you know
how this turned out, we had to wait until Jan. 21st, there is that
date again, I have had three appointments on the 21st of the month
and now the surgery is scheduled for the 21st of February as long as
we get insurance approval.
I think that brings us current on the story and brings you
up to date. What we need now is prayer
that the insurance company will approve me, and do it quickly so we can have
the surgery on the 21st. Last
we talked to our coordinators the insurance company legally has 15 days to
respond and they told the coordinator to stop calling they will take as long as
they need too. We just pray that the
right people get the paperwork and push it through for the approval.
From this point on I will give a daily update of what we are
going through and what it looks like leading up to the donation. Tomorrow should be a good day to read I have
some thoughts on the following verse.
John 15:13
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life
for one’s friends.”
