TRANSPLANT DAY!!

Wow, what a day.  God started us off by hearing a testimony from a tech who's wife had had a transplant 4 years ago and he shared his faith and told us how God had answered prayer.  How precious for the Lord to bring a brother in Christ to our room to bring some encouragement!  Also, our nurse for the day, Yvette, also a fellow believer, walked through our entire process with us and was so sweet and a blessing to us.How kind it was for the Lord to surround us with believers for this process.  

Here is her blood!

Mom flew through this today with flying colors. The process was very uneventful except for the gravity of the fact that some young man gave his blood for mom to have new life! Sounds vaguely familiar doesn't it?! We kept thinking and talking about what a picture of Christ and salvation this is, How Jesus sacrificed for us and gave His blood so that we might have new life.  They kept saying this was Mom's new birthday, just like our new birth in Christ!! As my Kanakuk kids would say, awesome "life apps!"

Anyway, after the transplant was finished, we celebrated with a "new birthday" cake, and then they brought us a special dinner this evening and sang happy transplant day to her! 

We are about to settle down for a viewing of the Chosen and then hopefully to bed a little earlier tonight, we stayed up till past midnight last night talking!!

Thank you for praying!!
