Mintx- I will definitely be partying for your situation! How exciting to be able to do this for your mama! I hope things work out and please keep me posted on what you hear.
I found out today that the first crossmatch test was done using some original blood samples of my friend. So, they want to double check things with "fresh" blood. I spoke to the transplant coordinator and he thinks things will be fine. Of course he doesn't know that for certain but he is very optimistic. Which gave me some peace. We will both go in on Monday and if things check out okay then we will set a date!
Thank you do much to those of You who respond and help keep me informed yet grounded at the same time. Although the waiting stinks, I'm very glad, for her sake, that they double and triple check results. This is a great community!
