Transplant scheduled

That's right, we have a date. The transplant will be on the 11th of January, almost 3 weeks from now.
For those of you who started reading recently (as if anyone reads me at all), or for those who don't remember, my husband is donating a kidney to his older brother. The transplant had been scheduled for September but it was postponed and it is now scheduled for January. Lets hope this is it.
My BIL will start imuno-supression right after Christmas and they will both have the last blood tests ran a couple of days before the surgery. Then Zé Maria will be in the hospital for about 3 or 4 days.
And then we pray. We pray that this works out for my BIL because he is 30 and his been on dialisys for over 12 years, his had one transplant and one rejection 8 years ago and he absolutely needs this to work. It's not only a question of quality of life, it's a question of how much longer he can live. This just has to work out.
So please, say a prayer for him, if you can. The rest of us will be just fine.
