Jim's Health Update!

Today my husband Jimmy had an appointment with the kidney transplant surgeon at Jackson Memorial in Miami. He will need some additional test done because of the diverticulitis he had several years ago and also because of the cyst rupturing last year before he is able to be put on the transplant list. He will begin dialysis this week and looking forward to feeling some physical relief.

We want to thank everyone who has wanted to donate their own kidney for Jimmy but have been ruled out due to their own health, or the standards of the kidney foundation. That takes a lot of courage and we just appreciate the thoughtfulness and generosity!

This picture was sent by our niece Theresa Yanick with a note that said, "I've attached a photo for Uncle Jimmy. It was taken from a plane over the Bahamas. When I see this image I think of, "where there is darkness there is hope on the horizon."

And with that I close and ask to continue your prayers for our family!
