We Have a Plan!

Ray & I will be flying out next Tuesday, Dec.1 and Ray's appts. will begin Dec. 3. He'll go through a week long screening process. At this point, we have no idea when we'll be returning. We'll take things one day at a time.

We had another phone interview with our liaison this afternoon explaining more of the details for the whole process. She suggested during our first week there, we should spend some time looking for a place to stay that would be long term. So when we get to that point we'll have somewhat of a plan. We've been given phone numbers, websites, etc. We'll be talking with the liaison again tomorrow.

We're still not sure who the donor is going to be, but that will be determined in the next couple days.

Ray had blood work done today at the oncologists office, and his counts are all very good. The Dr. is quite pleased. He'll have one more appt., next Mon. The Dr. said he'd like to have one last look at the counts before we take off.

We're very excited for the opportunity--excited and nervous, as I've said before. It's overwhelming to think about it all, with the holidays quickly approaching and also Andy's wedding. Oh yeah, one day at at time, I have to constantly remind myself.

Love you all,
Kim
