100th Post!

Today I noticed that I have written 99 posts...why not make it 100! I don't really have anything exciting to report, but I thought I would check in anyways. Tonight we are going to dinner for Andy and Allyson at a local restaurant, Yesterday's. We are celebrating Andy's kidney transplant which is taking place on Wednesday next week. Andy is Will's younger brother, I believe I have mentioned him before. Back in the Spring of 2012, he was diagnosed with kidney failure. His kidneys were only functioning at like 10%. He has been on dialysis since then. In November, he started testing to find a matching donor. His fiance Brittany's friend Allyson stepped up and got tested to see if she was a match. Well, she is a match and is willing to donate one of her kidneys to Andy. They go in for surgery next week at MUSC in Charleston. Please keep both of them, their families, and doctors in your prayers. Andy will be down in Charleston for a couple of weeks following surgery to monitor for infection and rejection of the new kidney. Will and I will be back and forth visiting him and the rest of the family. So, my 100th post goes out to Andy and Allyson and the kidney games!! 

Keep up with Andy and his progress on his CaringBridge site:
