I was called this morning. The donor is ready for the 9th of April. I start the conditioning April 2nd. Now I go back and read slowly what you posted Lori.
I say my caregiver today and she knows it is 24hours a day, there were 6 more ladies that said they would help. If my friend Lil calls them, they will come. Thanking God today. My estranged brother posted on our sibling's chat page he essentially wrote that he prays I have the best outcome. I secretly pray he visits me there as he works on the hospital grounds. Time to get reading........

Good morning, @katgob! This is incredible news about caregivers stepping forward and their willingness to “circle the wagons” to make sure you can go through with this transplant! I just realized my hands were up to my heart while reading your news! It’s all so heartwarming. I really hope this closes the gap between your siblings!
And your donor too! Bless this person for helping a total stranger get a second chance at life! I remember how I felt when I got the call that my ‘one in 22 million’ signed the consent form! It’s overwhelming, isn’t it?
Wow, well, April 2nd is a big day! My guess is your journey will start a few days before that with pre-transplant testing and transplant education.
You have a lot going on now so the next couple of weeks will go quickly.
One thing on your long list of items to pack for an extended stay at the hosptial and friend’s homes, should be a small extension cord like the little white or brown ones sold in grocery stores … it comes in hand for your phone or tablet charger. ☺️
Read, make notes, gather your thoughts and don’t forget to exhale! ☺️ Any specific questions?
