Hi! I am writing to tell you the latest info I have for you. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to move my testing for the transplant list from Baylor in Dallas to Baylor All Saints in Ft. Worth. It is a lot closer to where I live than the Dallas location. That means that I also have a new coordinator. His name is Shan. He is very nice and energetic and willing to answer any questions I have. He also informed me that my antibodies are 99%. I was like, they were only 89% after my transplant was taken out. He asked me some questions, which I answered no to, so he ended up saying, well sometimes they just go up. I was very upset. I actually bawled my eyes out.

So, I text my doctor that sees me at Dialysis and asked him if I am an impossible case to get another transplant. He said no, that we will talk about desensitization protocol. what??? So, I am supposed to find out today what that is. I hope it will put me closer to getting a kidney and pancreas!

My testing date for all the tests to stay on the transplant waiting list (that I have to do annually) is on November 4. So, that will be nice to have all of those complete!

I hope all is well with everyone. Take care and I'll keep you informed!

Love, Tracy :)
