So the anticipated surgery is on hold! It seems Jessica is a little under the weather so we're patiently waiting for her white blood cell count to get better.
Until then, we wait and wait and wait...

The countdown...less than 2 weeks away!
Well here we are again, patiently waiting for the transplant day to arrive.
Over 10 years ago, this date was on my golden birthday but this year it's just before Memorial Day. Transplant is scheduled for May 26th so keep Jessica in your thougths as she prepares for this next step on her journey!

It's been a very long time...
Well here we are again. I haven't posted in quite a long time, and there have been some major changes in Jessica's life.
She was all set to compete in the 2010 Transplant Games this past summer in Madison, but her "kidney luck" ran out right before the competition started. She wasn't able to compete due to some health issues, but her grandparents from Kansas were at the games and cheered on the other competitors! Way to go Linda and Gary!
After struggling with some health issues over the summer, Jessica was still able to start her freshman year at college. Now that the year if half over we're proud to say that she is handling her first year very well. This past January, Jessica started dialysis again - she hates it, but is feeling so much better (aside from the long bout with pneumonia!).
So now we're all in a holing pattern and waiting for a donor. We all have our fingers crossed that we will find a match sooner than later...so keep Jessica in your prayers!

2010 Is Here...
...and we're down to months in the countdown to the transplant games!
Jessica and her family are planning a trip to Madison for an informational meeting in the next month so I'm hoping that we'll have lots more information.
Not only are the transplant games coming, but Jessica is busy getting ready for graduation and applying for college. What happened to my "little" niece?!
I'm sure the next few months will fly by for her and I'm looking forward to it!

Jessica Speaks
Message from Jessica:
"YESSSS I will be graduating but dont worry mommy and daddy i will still ask for money haha!
I am so thrilled for the transplant games this year especially now that they are in Madison! It seems like just this summer that we all traveled to Pittsburg for the games. I hope the transplant games in Madison will be just as fun, even though we all know they will be better because they are in Wisconsin! Haha no offense to the other states, we are just that great.
Well back to studying for my great classes, hope to see you all soon"
