And we wait.........

I am not going to lie.  I am getting tired of writing these posts. 

The transplant is cancelled again.

Nope...not getting any easier to take the news. 

In case you didn't know David was scheduled for another transplant on September 5th.  But a few weeks ago he was in the hospital because he tore his esophagus and was bleeding.  His blood count got critically low and was put in ICU for 2 days.  They had to give him 4 units of blood.  We were told it was the cleanest (free of antibodies) blood out there but there was still a 1% chance of getting new antibodies.   Well David was that 1% chance.

Tuesday when they did the final cross match for this upcoming transplant they found that he had build new antibodies and now does not match the donor he had.

So we start over.  We have to find a new donor, re-cross match, and start the process over for the third time.

Yes it is getting frustrating, yes we do still believe God has a perfect plan and a perfect purpose for all of this happening.  But please pray because our human hearts are weak.  This is such an emotional roller coaster and you wouldn't believe how it messes with us.  We need strength that can only come from our Heavenly Father.

I will post again soon but this is all I have for now.
