My thoughts and prayers added for you and your daughter/family.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! It means a lot to me and my wife. We did have enough cash saved up to start building the basement for a small two bedroom home in the country where we could live out our lives in peace and quiet. We will wait for now and see how this all plays out. We have been told that the medication that she will be on for the rest of her life is quite expensive. My daughters have set up a benefit in a small town here in Iowa. Three of my old band mates have volunteered to play for the event and asked me to de-rust and dust off my old Fender bass to do a few tunes. That remains to be seen! Since I don't do Facebook I will ask Tom if I can put a link up to one of the kids Facebook pages. These last five years have really sucked as far as life goes but I am here to tell ya it sure beats the alternative! Ted

Ted, many prayer's , met your wife with you at the track that one time, nice lady. hope it all turns out.

Unlike others on here, I have never met you or your wife. Never the less, My prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks! Just received an update that my daughters blood work came back just fine! I tell ya...She is a tough one!

Good luck on the transplant Ted.. my youngest
brother had a kidney transplant.. all went well..
best to your wife and daughter.. and your family

Mike...That's good to hear! What about the medication they have to take? We have been told it is very costly. And how did your wife come out?

He had to take anti-rejection drugs for years.. he was
under my dads insurance.. my dad had to fight with the
insurance company in the beginning but ended up getting
it
EDIT
It was a choice between me or my brother which
would donate a kidney.. they told me that I
should keep mine being that I was a dozer
operator in the service and that tends to tear
up the kidneys plus he was closer in age so he
gave up one of his

Prayers for your family from here too Ted
