Well, testing at Mayo all went well. JB needs to have a colonoscopy and a CAT scan. They found something in her colon and wanted to have it fully checked out before moving forward.

And there is a highly likelihood that they won't approve her as a donor. Her creatinine clearance is on the low end. Based on the formula they use, if she donates, she could be in kidney failure at 60 years of age and need a transplant herself. There are many factors involved in the amount of creatine your body puts out and it's possible this may fix itself over time.

I'm bummed because a blog I follow during the week was shut down to invite only at some point over the weekend. I only followed and very rarely posted. I had so much time vested in reading and truly held a few of those great ladies in very high regard. Late last week some not very nice things were said and some ladies stepped away for a bit. I can understand that and it made me realize that some people can just be plain hateful while others can have so much compassion for others they only know virtually. I thought it a bit odd that while the owner of the blog stated that this was different in that anyone could say whatever and there weren't any repercussions. Seems her tune has been changed. OR someone hacked into her blog, set it to invite only and she's not aware of it. (TINA - if you are reading, can you email me at kimberelym@yahoo.com and let me know what's going on)

My 27 yr old cousin had a heart attack on Friday. Her daughter is Chunky's age. Almost 3. It's truly a miracle that she's come back almost completely whole. She has a pinhead size bit of brain damage, which can be fixed through surgery if needed and has some damage to her heart. She will have to have a defibulator put in before she leaves the hospital, but they expect her to make a full recovery.

Otherwise all is right in my world. Work is busy. Kids are finally cold free. Soldier signed me up to do a 5k on Thanksgiving morning. Not sure how I'm gonna pull that off, but I'm gonna try.
