Thank you so much for checking in. Unfortunately surgery did not go as planed. A week prior to the surgery it was cancelled. My mom's antibodies changed, most likely due to a blood transfusion that she had in October when her anemia peaked, and they didn't catch it until the bloodwork at our pre-anesthesia testing. She was no longer a match with her donor and the chain was cancelled. We were crushed. We were taken off the NKR, marked "inactive". Now we're waiting for the antibodies to stabilize. Once they see that they have remained unchanged for a few months they will re-list us.

@jgiovann I am so sorry to hear about this delay. I can only imagine how crushed you and your mother must both have been. Hopefully things will stabilize soon and she will again be active on the list. I suspect that once that happens she will be at the top of the list since she must have been there already.
We will be waiting to hear that things have proceeded and that she has finally had her transplant.
