I'm finally getting around to posting on this blog. It's very easy to procrastinate when you have little free time. We are getting ready for our trip to Phoenix next week. It would be more accurate to say that we are getting ready for our trip to Phoenix to be over. We are eager...eager to get this process going and eventually done. There are honestly a few parts of this trip that I am looking forward to. I enjoyed Arizona when we lived there. We will get to see several Tucson friends on Sunday afternoon. We will also try to catch a Rangers spring training game. Joy is also excited about staying in a hotel again.
It will be good to make some progress and get some questions answered. At least that is our mantra. The week will be full of testing, prodding, scans, needle sticks and such. At the end of the week, we are hoping that Missy will be on the Mayo Clinic liver transplant list. After that, we hope to begin the donor screening process. We have no idea what all will be involved with that process. Hopefully, that will be quick and as painless (physically and emotionally) as possible. Then, soon we can actually get going with the actual transplant, healing, and getting back to "normal".
The more astute readers will notice that I used the word "hope" a lot. That is one of the things that we currently have in abundance along with faith, trust, encouragement and support. Is there any other way that we could get through all of this? God is faithful, and He will see us through this journey. Too often, we are like little kids...fidgeting in the back seat, continually asking, "Are we there yet?" How do people get through life's events without a sustaining faith and trust in God? There is no way that we could do that. We are so thankful for our God who gives us strength for each day and the most amazing friends and family to cheer us on. We could never adequately express our gratitude for all you have done for us.
Stay tuned for more information and insight as it becomes available.
