@abmac, I want to check on your husband. I just finished my appointment that was rescheduled from April to June at Mayo Rochester.
Has he been able to keep his rescheduled June appointment?

I’ll reply in brief for now. We were seen at Emory and finished the major portion of the test on June 21. They were to meet June 22 and give us the results (being on their list or waiting). We haven’t heard anything. We would feel more comfortable with a second opinion and my husband spent several days working on the forms that were emailed to him. They require a return fax. He signed his release form. He really hopes to transplant at Jacksonville campus. Emory feels he is a tad early to transplant. They want him stronger and 15 lbs lighter. It was a sobering visit. With Covid they expect him to recover alone in the hospital and this is not okay with me! We are hoping for better news and hope at Mayo. They do not feel my husband will survive Covid directly and won’t live long enough without a transplant to wait for it to “go away” or get vaccines. So we move forward on this next step. Lots to think about each day. Thanks for reaching out. @rosemarya
