Sorry so late.....

Ok so Nicole had her two day work up done on June 22nd and 23rd. These day consist of blood work, x-rays, ct scan and visiting with doctors and consultants. The days started at 6:00am both days and ended usually around 3:00pm. From what Nicole said the ct scan was not fun. With the dye that you get injected with made her feel funny and get really hot. She did not like that very well.
After we got home the next morning she receive a phone call from Mayo, because some of the testing was not completed yet, to tell her that the tissue testing that they did would not work in my body. Which means that my body would have a high chance at rejecting her kidney. Nicole was heart broken. She came and told me at work that afternoon and with out good friend Jodi Braun there we all started to cry. I was also heart broken because she had to go through alot of testing. I thought to myself now I have to start all over again when I thought I was at the end.
After sobbing for a while we finally pulled ourselves together and told each other the no matter what had happened we would still be apart of each others lives.
My middle sister Jenny now has her two day work up at the end of August. So I PRAY that this one will be it. I dont know how much more I can take this. If I ahve to wait any longer I may have to look into dialysis. I DO NOT want to go through that. My next nephrology appt is Aug 10th so my guessing is that we will start talking about it because the waiting is getting longer, but you cant always predicted whats going to happen. If I do have to be on dialysis I will deal with whatever comes my way. I have great friends and family that will helpme through it.
