Liver Transplant

Two words I never expected to hear in my life are now consuming my mind - liver transplant.  At first I couldn't take it in, and I'm still having a little trouble with it.  However, I can feel God's peace comforting me and the prayers of all of my loved ones.  I've said this many times, but I have to say it again.  I have been blessed with friends and family.  They sustain me.

I have decided that there is really no choice in this matter.  I have to go through with the transplant process. The alternative is not an option to me.  I have to trust God to lead Dr. McFadden as he treats me.  I have an appointment on January 17 with Dr. McFadden, and I am planning to start the ball rolling that day.  He seems sure that I will qualify.  I pray that I will.

The transplant process is pretty involved and the sooner we start the better.  I would rather get it over with whatever it entails.

I guess I'm asking that you keep me in your prayers.  I'm not a very brave person, but God is my protector and keeper.  I know that I can make it through with His help.
