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!
