Hey there! Sorry so long to get back to you, last week we were here going through the plethora of various appointments they had for me, and it was a busy week. This week we were on pins and needles waiting to hear from Mayo if they were going to list me or if we were going home. Got the call late afternoon yesterday that they were going to list me and wanted me to stay! So this morning got my labs for listing and it is now official. I am now on the clock and waiting for the call, we’ll see how long it takes but extremely thankful for being listed and for the contact with everyone here in the beginning of this process.

All my best, wish me luck!

Bryan

@btg, I'm throwing **confetti**. So good to hear your update of getting on the list.

@btg - Brian, this is wonderful news! You have the best reason for being long to get back.
Getting all of those tests and waiting for results is exhausting - and stressful. Maybe you can sleep well tonight!
As you have time to process all that you have been through, remember that myself and all our wonderful transplant recipient members are here to accompany you on your journey.
