We are preparing for another trek to Kansas City. This time just me and Jeremy. We will go early in February to evaluate Jeremy for donation. This is a full day and a half of testing and appointments. We are not concerned about this time except for leaving our kids. Our daughter is having a hard time with us being gone. We would appreciate your prayers for peace and joy while we are gone.
Joey has done very well for a few months. This month's blood work showed a slight decrease in kidney function. He is also having some kind of pain nearly daily. Either his bladder, kidney's or stomach hurt. Please pray that these symptoms subside quickly.
We are all showing "signs of stress". Whether it is trouble sleeping, depression or out right anger we seem to all be feeling the strain. We have some great people in our life loving us and praying for us. We are also seeking counseling to help us figure out the best way to deal with all the pressure.
I'll be sure to update again when we return from Kansas City with results. Thank you for all your notes of encouragement, prayers and expressions of love. We feel very blessed. Thanks for taking an interest in our family!
