Well, Mom came home tonight. What a blessing to have her home. She still needs to see the kidney doctors at the outpatient center at Hopkins over the next few weeks to get everything approved for the Kidney Transplant.
However, she met with the Transplant Surgeon today and he sounds optimistic about her having the transplant soon.
Please be praying that God's perfect will be done and that he will receive all of the glory through this.

First Entry
Ok, so here we begin the world of Blogging! I hope that this will be a help to you and to us as we keep you updated on Mom's condition.
She is coming home tonight from the hospital!!! We praise God for keeping her safe and healing the infection she had.
As far as where we are in the transplant process, Rheba is on the list at Johns Hopkins for a liver transplant, but not yet for the kidney. At Memphis, she is on the list for a liver and kidney transplant.
They say that this latest battle she has had will not move her up any quicker on the list. The only thing that can move her up is her MELD score (http://www.unos.org/resources/MeldPeldCalculator.asp?index=98). This score needs to be at about 21 or higher to really move things along. She is currently at 18 and will be tested again in a few weeks.
So, that is where we are. We ask for your prayers and well wishes. Please feel free to leave a comment or a prayer. We will make sure that Mom sees them all.
We want to encourage you to follow mom's progress on here, so that she can rest at home. It is amazing that with all the people that call to see how she is doing, it is difficult for her to rest sometimes.
We will try and post a comment each week or more if things change. I will event try to get Rheba to blog a little (she is so not a computer person!!!).
We love and appreciate you all. Thank you for your concern and continued support.
