Since the AVF surgery

It has been about a month since my last update and I wanted to bring every one up to speed.   As you all know Brent had AVF surgery to repair the Fistula.  There were a few problems from the surgery such as swelling and the vein being displaced.  The home dialysis nurse had to establish a new "button hole" (which is a new stick site for the needles).

We are currently waiting on number 11.  Number 11 received the kit from Vanderbilt to send her blood back to Vandy to get tested to see if she was a match.  We have not heard from her in 3 weeks.  We have tried to text her and call numerous times but have not received any communication back from her. This is very heart breaking for Brent.  Brent and Frances have decided to move on and start praying for number 12.
Brent and Frances have joined www.matchingdonors.com..  They are getting a lot of contacts and positive feedback from the site. As I was sitting here to today keeping Brent and Frances company while dialyzing they received  3 possible contacts!
One of Frances's friend is saving aluminum and has started a savings account.  She wants to buy some car magnet signs that say  "kidney needed for Brent".  If you would like to save aluminum cans for this cause please call Ann at 256-653-9776.
