326 and counting...

Hi everyone:

I'm not sure that this statistic has any special significance, but Patty has now been on the transplant list for 326 days. To be honest, she seems healthier overall now than she did at the time she was first listed, so perhaps it's serendipity that things have taken longer than we had at first anticipated.

We received a call today from the organization that handles testing of Patty's blood for panel reactive antibodies (PRA.) The misplaced sample arrived at their offices in Elmhurst today, 11 days from the day it was posted. We should get some new results within the next few days.

Patty is doing pretty well today; she's dozing on the sofa as I write this.

Love,
Brian
