Calling out for more Faith and Prayers

Last week (3/29) we met with the Transplant Staff Camille and I have begun our workups to see if we are healthy enough and can be a match for Karina.
There are many more tests to be taken - not just physical. We are screened for psychological and emotional stability. (And I thought losing weight would be the toughest part for me, haha). Truly, my BMI is a little above the optimal and I am praying and hoping that giving Karina new life can be enough incentive to lose weight. Anyone would say this should be all the incentive one would need. But, really losing weight is difficult anyway for me. I am the gain a little quickly - lose a little slowly body type. So, under the best of circumstances - when stresses aren't so humongous - it is still tough. But, now, woW!
So I guess there are two miracles that we are seeking : one- that Camille or I might be a match (or a type 0 cadavier kidney might come available out there) and two - I might lose the needed weight. We are hoping the middle of this summer Karina might be able to receive a kidney transplant -
Last month, our family had the privilege of riding in a convertible limo in downtown Denver for the St. Patrick's Parade. There were an estimated 200,000 Denverites there. We rode in the "Make A Wish" brigade. Frank and I were both surprised at the great love and support we felt as we made contact with many moms and dads with tears in their eyes as they saw the make a wish limos pass them by. I hadn't expected that kind of "group hug" feeling we received from our fellow Coloradoians that morning.
I am starting to look forward to each new serendipity surprise that is waiting around the next corner on our adventure with Karina.
PS Happy Birthday to the Best Man I know - Frank on March 13th. And Karina turned 15 on March 10. Our royal Pearl Princess only becomes more precious with each birthday.
