Kidney Donation: Good news!

I'm approved! I got the call today around 5:00 p.m. saying that I am approved to donate my kidney to Masud Khondoker, a 44 year old man that lives in the Phoenix area, but is originally from Bangladesh. What are the odds?

This is the call that I've been so hoping to hear. Amongst all the chaos of my life, this is some very welcome news. I feel truly blessed to the one "chosen" to donate. I may have actually sought him out, but I still feel as though I was chosen by a greater power, God.

I want to thank everyone for all of their prayers. It worked!!!!!!!!

I guess the next step is to start praying that the surgery is a success.

Yiipppeeee!!!!!

"Kidney Donation: Part 8"

I'm anxiously awating the phone call to find out if I was approved or not to donate. They review panel at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix is meeting as I type this (Tuesday).

I was told I would know by the end of the day or tomorrow some time. As soon as I know I will post it here.

Until then, keep praying.
