Jim and his dad are on their way to UAB. Jim has blood work, then appointment with heart failure group and then meeting with the social worker. My heart is with him. Trying to teach today. Praying that all goes well.
Transplant classes on Tuesday. Then docs will be ready to make a decision. We expect one no later than Thursday evening. Thanks for your continued prayers and support. It means so much.
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD HE REIGNS IN HEAVEN ABOVE WITH WISDOM POWER AND MIGHT...MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

Good day yesterday. Jim had blood work, saw heart failure doc, and then finished up with the social worker. No big major tests. YEAH! Doc said he would need to do his dental check-up then go to class on Tuesday. They should make a decision by Thursday. Social Worker gave us great news instead of costing tens of thousands of dollars it is figured to be under $7,000 right now. We haven't checked the...cost of the meds yet. I cried. God is SO good. We used to have around $50000 raised but after two prior transplant evaluations and being in and out of the hospital we have about $4000 now. Medicare kicked in the first of May and that has helped a lot. Thanks so much for all the countless prayers on our behalf. I don't know how people do it without God and a church family. God has always been so faithful to us and I pray that daily we will serve and glorify Him.cost of the meds yet. I cried. God is SO good.

Thanks to Jeff and Meghan Stacy for your visit. You drove over an hour...just to see us. It was so good to see y'all again. You both are really special people. Thank you for doing what you do. We love you both and we pray for you and your work. God has great plans for you and He will give you everything you need. May God bless you richly as you faithfully serve Him.

Transplant classes yesterday. Wow, learned some weird facts. Did you know after a transplant you are not supposed to go fishing on a lake? Can't be around cats? Before they do the surgery they shave everything from your chin to your ankles. The average wait time is 18 months for a heart. Two of the medicines you have to be on for life can cause cancer. Let's just say it was information overload that lead to a migraine. Going tomorrow to UAB to see if Jim will be put on the list or not. Thanks for your prayers. We love you all.
***GOT A SPECIAL TOP SECRET SURPRISE FOR JIM***
Can't wait until he finds out. :D
