Good news .....

Another donor!
A lady, who's husband gave a kidney to his best friend, has offered her kidney to MrGee.The first couple of tests have gone well, but we still have a long way to go.So many issues are surfacing at the moment..... please keep us in your prayers ... we desperately need God's intervention in many areas of our lives.

Hope revived.

After a few dissapointments MrGee and I are feeling hopeful again! A lady from our community has come forward and is very excited about giving him a kidney. The first tests confirm that she is a match and this following week she will have an interview with the doctors. So the process starts again.

Another test

MrGee is going into hospital tomorrow for a gastroscopy.This is an examination of the inside of the gullet, stomach and duodenum using a fibre tube inserted via the mouth.
His Dr is concerned about the drop of haemoglobin in his blood and wants to find out what is causing this.

His blood readings are looking great!

MrGee is doing well on dialysis. He is doing 5 three hour sessions a week and the docters are shocked at how good his blood readings are. His phosphate, creatine, urea, calcium and potassium levels are those of a normal person !!!!! Unfortunately his haemoglobin levels have dropped resulting in him feeling a little out of sorts. He says he can feel his heart beating in his ears. For now he has had to stop all cardio until his haemoglobin levels increase.

Another blow

My Cousin, who came forward offering her kidney to MrGee, let us know this week that she is not able to donate.One of her family members is not happy with her giving up a kidney.

Yes, MrGee is very disappointed.

God knows what MrGee needs and we will hold onto hope and the knowledge that God makes everything perfect in His time!

Waiting is so hard though .........

MrGee's helpers

Here are the nurses who look after MrGee when he is hooked into 'The Matrix'.... ie the dailysis machines.

It was civies day. MrGee is very grateful for this dedicated bunch!

Hopeful news

The nephrologist in Jozi says we can try again in 3 months to see if Candice and MrGee are compatible! Now isn't that good news?

Why the Dr in Bloemfontein didn't mention this I have no idea........ he just said it's a no-go and that was that! It pays to get a second opinion and questions answered!

Another bit of exciting news is that Heather,my cousin, has come forward to donate her kidney. She is really keen and MrGee is feeling good about it.
