A Plea for MyDaddy

Yesterday was National Kidney Day/World Kidney Day. And in honor of MyDaddy, I would like to make a plea to help us find a Living Kidney Donor.

MyDaddy is running out options and continues to have  issues with dialysis. He is on the list for a cadaver donor, but his best chance for survival with less complications is with a living donor. His insurance will pay for everything, all we need is a tissue match and we can go from there.  His blood type is B Positive, but you do not have to be a blood match.

MyDaddy is fighting for his life, please help us find a donor.

Please share this message with your friends, family, or whoever you think may be interested in donating a kidney.

Send me a message if you can help.

And please continue to keep MyDaddy in your prayers.

I think I’m done…

As much as I want to write,

there really isn’t anything interesting going on in my life right now.

I will continue to follow blogs,

but until something interesting happens,

I think I’m done…

You know what? I’m feeling really good!

See that smile?

It’s sincere.

I’m in a good place right now.

I’m not stressed.

I’m enjoying my life.

I’m good.

I went through the motions from January 6th – April 15th.

I wasn’t really living while MyDaddy’s life was on the line.

Now I’m living out loud.

Shug & I have taken several small trips.

A trip to Atlanta is being discussed.

One of my favorite bloggy friends  lives there.

We’re still mapping out a trip to the Caribbean.

I think that trip will be in December.

And I’m thinking we may end up in New York for our 6th anniversary.

Who knows what we’ll do.

I think having the freedom to do what we want,

when we want to is the only good thing about not having children.

And I’m okay with that.

I tried to keep up with everyone’s blogs while I was gone.

I didn’t do a very good job.

Two of my favorite bloggy friends,

Erin & Preshus Me have added ADORABLE baby boys to their flocks.

Congratulations y’all!

Life is going on,

and you know what?

I’m feeling really good!

I’ve been gone far too long!

Hey y'all!

So much has happened since January,

and so much has remained the same.

I’ve wanted to write,

but just didn’t feel up to it.

My world almost ended when we came close to losing MyDaddy.

His kidney transplant was not successful.

First it was a “shocky’ kidney,

then it went into rejection,

then it turned to sepsis.

They removed the kidney on February 14th.

He was released from rehab on April 15th.

It’s been a long haul,

but he’s doing WONDERFUL now!

He’s living,

walking proof of God’s Grace & Mercy.

He’s back at the top of the transplant list.

 Our prayers are more specific this time.

A kidney that will function,

keep him healthy

 and better his life is my specific prayer.

I’ll fill you guys in on me tomorrow.

Just know that I’m good and

I’ve been gone far too long!

knock knock

 

Is this thing on?

I just might get back to blogging….

Wordless Wednesday

January 7, 2011

MyDaddy had a kidney transplant yesterday!
He’s doing well & looks great.
We still can’t believe that our prayers have been answered.
Please keep him in your prayers.

Time for changes…

Shug and I are in a good place.

The grief counseling that we did through our church really helped us.

We’re communicating so much better now.

We’re also accepting that we may end up living our lives child free.

We’re not giving up,

but we are moving on.

This weekend we’re going to dismantle the nursery and return all the borrowed stuff to MyFriend.

Some stuff we’re donating to a young mother in need,

everything else will be packed up for future use or future donation.

We’re planning several trips this year.

We specifically want to go on another cruise to the Caribbean.

We also want to hit up the East Coast and the West Coast.

We’re young and childless so we’re going to make the most our time together.

No more waiting on the sidelines.

No more playing the “What if” game.

It’s about damn time!

It’s time for changes…

Happy New Year!

Three days into 2011& I’m loving it!
I’ve got a new look & a brand new attitude.
I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Still Thankful, just ridiculously busy!

I’ll be back in 2011.

Hopefully without the surly attitude.

Merry Christmas,

Happy Hanukkah,

Happy Kwanzaa,

Happy Winter Solstice,

Happy New Year!
