Transplant Testing

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Taking my wife Harriet to Cedars Sinai hospital in LA on Tuesday to be tested and interviewed to determine if she can be placed on list for heart transplant. She's had bad ticker for about 16 years now and her heart specialist says time for a change, no more repairs. Not much else they can do with what she has. No complaints here, God has seen fit to grant us 34 years of time together. Most of you who have loved ones with health issues do not need a long story - you've been there, as we say. Just asking for you to put her on your prayer list. Prayer has been the magic bullet more than once for her. We remain hopeful that they will have good answers for her. Thanks ahead of time and we'll let you now how things went when we get back.

God is Always Good.

Sorry for the late update ... there is so much going on in all of our lives now it seems. Wife had tests and long visit with the doctor. No heart transplant because the anti rejection drugs would kill her ... strong stuff that can really hurt a long time diabetic. BUT, she can have a heart pump ... no anti rejection drugs for that. Came back to Vegas and were scheduled to be back in LA two weeks ago for second series of tests and consulting, but wife had a serious infection, from osteomilitus (fancy for you gotta infection in a bone in your foot) and she had to spend another 9 days in hospital. Out again and taking intraveneous antibiotics for six weeks - that ends in 18 more days then we are off again to LA ... thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers!!!

Our challenges seem large at times, but when compared to what others have to deal with, maybe it ain't so bad after all. When I think about the folks in Joplin and Glenn's loss and all the other folks seeking help and support here I find it easier to lean on God and let Him take care of the hard stuff. Our best to all of you with many thanks!
Tim
