Guess Where I Am????????
I'm at the hospital, where my husband is going to have a kidney transplant sometime tonight!!!!!!! Praise God!!!!!! Please pray that all will go well!
Eric will be in the hospital at least a week. I just learned that there is wi-fi here though, so I won't be completely out of touch.
The kids are SO excited. They were jumping up and down and saying, "Daddy can pick us up again?" Yes loves. "Daddy can go swimming with us again?" You bet!!!
It's surreal to get "the call" after over 2 years of dialysis. Amazing. What a miracle. All because someone made the decision to donate their kidneys if they died.

I am so happy for your family!! I will be thinking and continuing to pray for a speedy recovery!
praise God!! praying everything goes perfectly without a hitch and he's home and healing in no time!!

Praying for the surgeons hands to be guided by God as they work on Eric. Praying that you have the strength you need through the night and the strength that you need to help Eric heal after the surgery. Praying that family and friends surround you with love and support tonight and in the coming weeks. Praying that your babies have understanding for the recovery and relief now that Daddy is getting his new kidney. And praying that an unknown family has peace because their loved one made a selfless decision to help someone else. Many blessings to you my friend.
Yahoo! Praying that God's grace covers everyone.
Praying for your husband. First Kendi, and now your husband. You are one blessed family!!!

Just spent time in prayer and praise and will again in some alone time this evening (my family is going out on a "date night" without me...I am so looking forward to spending some more time with the Lord). So thankful Eric and your wait is being blessed, and so thankful for the donor and their family (may they be blessed and comforted in their loss). May the Lord direct the surgeons hands and may Eric's body receive these new kidneys with amazing recovery and renewed health. Praising and Praying!

Anita - what wonderful and long-awaited news! I cannot imagine your excitement (and maybe anxiety, too) right now. I'm praying for you all - for peace and speedy recovery.
We serve an *AWESOME* God!! Great news!!
Praise the Lord! I know from following a family that we go to church with how difficult this is. You might want to check out their story at: http://www.kidney4jake.com/
Tears of Joy for you! I second every thing that Heather A said as I couldn't say it more beautifully and perfectly... I am so happy for your family that the time is here. I can only imagine how surreal it is! I continue to stay attached to the internet to keep up with you! (I do anyway, now just have more reason too!)
I was out for a while and had to pop in to your blog and see if there was news!
I'm still in tears over the events of today.
Tried to call you but the # I had in my phone was not good.
We are praising and praying ferently tonight!
Love to you and to Eric and children

Praying with you, Anita! What wonderful news after such a long wait! Praying that the surgeons hands are guided by God as they go through surgery...that Eric recovers quickly...and that you all have what you need to make it through recovery time. Praying for the family that made this kidney transplant possible as well. During their grief, you have reason for much hope and joy!
