Thank you very much for your loving support, I greatly appreciate it. I will keep you updated. We live in a small suburb just west of Rochester, NY and are fortunate to have Strong Memorial Hospital only 20 minutes away so we don't have to travel far.

@jgiovann, I decided to drop in to see how your mom is doing since she has been on dialysis. Is it helping her to feel better? I have a friend on dialysis while waiting for a kidney transplant, and he is feeling real good since he started dialysis. In fact, last time we spoke about it, he said he is in no real rush to find a donor because he does feel so good and he has arranged to have dialysis when he travels. I'm not sure that I would agree with his thinking, but, that is his decision not mine.
Anyway, I want you to know that I am thinking about you. If you find a free moment, I would be interested in learning what the doctors have said about scheduling your mom's transplant. Has there been a satisfactory change in the antibodies? Will a new kidney chain be formed when she is approved?
