Transplant

I think I forgot to put this into one of the blogs, we had just been so concerned with the fevers. Last Monday, we asked for the coordinator Rachel, and she came in. Kurt was worried about the donors and if they matched. She did tell us that none of his siblings matched. Kurt was down a bit, but I told him that now they would look for someone in their 20's and that he could live a lot longer with some young cells in him. This would just delay his procedure a little while longer. They did a preliminary search when he first came in, and found a possible 218 donors. Now what they do is narrow that search down the to top 5 or 6, and try to locate them. This is what takes a long time, because the registry is world wide, and some people may have moved and not given a forwarding address. Once they locate them, they have them do a blood test, and it takes about a week to find out. So we are just waiting and hopefully it won't take too long.
