Another set back.

Tuesday the 9th, Kurt had to go to talk to several people regarding the transplant. The most important one was the radiologist and get x-rays and ct scan to measure his lungs so they can make blocks or samples of his lungs. They hang this in front and back when they shoot radiation to his whole body. Then we talked to a dietician, a pharmacist, and the financial person. We were there from 9:00 to 2:00, we had a lot of fun (ha ha). Then we were suppose to go back Friday the 12th, to have a family conference with the Head Dr. But Kurt got a call yesterday from Rachael our coordinator, telling us that the registry had called and told the hospital that the 40ish old donor was not capatible for some reason or another, but they can't tell us the reason, they don't even know. So now we have to do another chemo process like the last two that we did, he goes in on Wednesday the 16th and stays for 6 days, then we wait for the counts to go down, then they have to go back up. They told Kurt that they are going back to the first donor that is 21 and see if he will be able to do it around mid July. Kurt is a little discouraged and was wanting to start the transplant process and get it over with, but it is out of our control and so we do what they tell us and go on.
I know that things happen for a reason and hopefully someday we will know all of the reasons for everything that has happened. It still gets a little frustrating, but we will keep having faith that Heavenly Father knows what we can handle and we know he is looking over us. Thanks again for your support and love.
