I'm listed!

Well it's official, I'm listed for a double lung transplant at University of Pennsylvania. Since I'm a rare blood type (AB+) I'm top of the list there.

My information was sent to Columbia Presbyterian today, so I will call to follow up tomorrow.

  3. Yes, The good and bad of my blood type...I know I'm the only one listed of my size at Penn, but won't be that many opportunities since I'm AB+

  4. The leg work is done (or should I say the "lung work"), now the wait begins. Hopefully we will get a call soon and it with be the REAL ONE!

  5. Congratulations! And well done for getting through what sounds like a particularly gruelling assessment and other tests...

    Let's hope that blood type gives you a short wait and that we can soon welcome you to the world of post-transplant!

  7. Ha! Yes Will, a political opperative friend of mine called last night at near 10:00. Denise got quite excited at the phone ring, I really thought nothing of it. I had to promise to tell people not to call late at night anymore. I guess its not real to me yet, at least I feel no different.
