Update on Mr. Clarks Ordeal

Here is an update about Mr. Clark. I know its a confusing process we are going through so hear is the scoop.

 The news is we are officially accepted at Kansas University. MED. for a  KIDNEY TRANSPLANT


1- He is advancing in the process  to be on the Transplant Team of recipients.
    1- He still has to finish the heart testing - He will have it completed by the 17th of Feb.
    2- We will travel to Kansas City to start the Transplant analysis-

We will keep you posted.

Now for the dialysis:

He had the surgery to insert the PORT for the dialysis. It is in his stomach.  It will take about a month to heal and then he will actually start the dialysis.

There are two kinds of dialysis. Blood (which is what they do at a dialysis center. ) He is fortunate to start on the liquid dialysis which is called peritoneal dialysis. If by chance he needs dialysis before his stomach heals its not a problem to do the blood dialysis before.

We are fortunate to get to be on PERITONEAL Dialysis. This means it is less confining in location, we can take it with us and we won't have to find dialysis centers everywhere we go.
He can do it at home. 3-4 times a day EVERYDAY. Sounds harsh but it is easier on your body than going to a dialysis center 3 times a week.  He plans on still feeling well enough to work.

In the mean time we will be working hard to get a Kidney Transplant. It is possible that he can also have a pancreas transplant at the same time that he has the kidney transplant. You know what that means? Yes, it is a scary thought.   It is very hard to think that someone would die for this to happen.  We will be praying that what ever is Gods will for him will happen.

We appreciate everyone that has came forward  to donate to Mr. Clark  It is very humbling to us to know that so many would make this sacrifice. We will keep you updated when it comes down to testing to find someone that is a match for him.
