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.

Dear Rheba and Dave,
It is so good of Michael to do this. Now I can connect with you from Alaska. Isn't it wonderful that our God is so big that He knows no distance and yet He holds His loved ones in His hand? I've always found comfort in Prov 3 (Deb's version: To the best of your ability trust in the Lord, don't try and figure out why something is happening, at EVERY opportunity make room for Him in your life and publicly proclaim Him and He promises to lead and direct your life. Isn't that a great promise? I love you. My heart is with you. Deb (Cushing) Segla
What a wonderful idea. Rheba, you know how much you are loved and this will give everyone an opportunity to keep up to date on your progress without ringing the phone off the hook. Ken and I have you constantly in our thoughts and prayers. May God keep you in his loving arms. Ken and Joan
This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing any/all info. with us. We are definitely praying for Rheba and your family. We love you guys. June and family
