BIG DAY TOMORROW

Mark and I leave tonight to spend the night in Santa Clara. I have to be at the Heart Transplant Center at 7:00AM in the morning for heart biopsy, lab, echo, chest x rays, clinic and two hour infusion. Then at 2:20PM we have an appointment at Stanford to meet with the specialist for Amyloidosis Dr. Shrier to discuss further treatment of the Amyloidosis. It is going to be a very busy day. I get so anxious the day before biopsy. The stress of waiting for lab results is awful. I wish there was a better way. I get to see Tippi (Tippi is one of my heart transplant friends who received a new heart on 8-28-08) tomorrow. We talk every day all day long. I love talking to her. She makes me feel so comfortable and we have a lot in common. I wish we lived closer. We could recover together. She is such a dear friend!

I will let everyone know results on Wednesday. Please pray for me and Tippi that we get an NER (no evidence of rejection) or 1R (slight rejection). Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts.

love,
debbie
