Just a quick note. We found out last week from the transplant coordinator that Steve has 6 hundred and some days already on the transplant list and she says most people are transplanted by high 7 hundreds. So I'm thinking another 100 days and he will be getting close. So it looks like he will be closer to 2 years when he gets the kidney.

We have changed insurance so that has been one headache after another. He has finally been approved by the new insurance for transplant. It is coming up on 2 years this spring so he will have to have some test ran again, heart, ct scans, lower gi, and whatever else they feel like poking and prodding. When we talk about this he sounds like a grizzly bear but after a couple of days he always says "I better go ahead and get that done, I don't want this to keep me from getting a kidney". Sometime this seems like it will never end.

Instead of a heart on valentines day maybe a kidney.
