What's the latest...


It has been a while since I have posted anything. These last couple of weeks, however, I've been visiting my allergist as the last, I do hope, evaluation required by emory. As of now, I am on what they call INACTIVE transplant list, pending on the results of the allergist. This might change, though. The hematologist at Emory wants to find out why my eosinophil (white blood cells) count is very high, so this might mean more testing. The normal count is up to 350 per ml, mine is 1200. Anyway, the allergist nurse performed an allergy test on me. We found out I am allergic to almost everything, including allergic to myself. I told her that I am allergic mostly to medical bills, which I am sure most of the patients are too. Spring time is the worst with all the seeds and pollens traveling in the air. So, there it is.
INACTIVE means that I am on the list for transplant; I am even moving up on the list, but if a kidney and a pancreas becomes available, I cannot receive them due to more testings on my inmune system to make sure my body can endure the surgery.
So, please , keep praying for me. This means the world to me. Prayer works!!!
Also, if the Lord puts it into you heart to support me in whichever way you may desire to, I'll be inmensely grateful for it. God bless you!!!
