Overflow With Hope

We have done our part.  We went to KU this morning to finish up the last requirements for transplant testing.  Jason nonchalantly watched a technician draw nineteen vials of blood from his arm.  I started feeling a bit woozy after I'd counted the first twelve.  We met with a different kidney doctor, and tried to address his various concerns.  Jason was feeling largely unconcerned at this time, since he was trying out one of the clinic's new remote control recliners.  They also did the planned ct scan of his abdomen, as well as chest and dental x-rays.

When the transplant committee met back in May to discuss Jason, we were told they'd decided to proceed with getting him listed.  We were under the impression that this would definitely happen once cardiology cleared him. It was disheartening to realize this is not the case.  We learned that the committee will be meeting again tomorrow to make a final decision.  His transplant coordinator should be calling us on Thursday with this news.  

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
