A Phone Call :)

12/14/2010

After waiting what seemed like FOREVER but was really only 18 Hours, I checked my phone(it was still on silent)(also not realizing that at 7:51 PM on Monday Heather sent me and email saying she received my fax and she would call Tuesday) and I saw I missed a call from Heather. I immediately checked my voice-mail on my phone and listened to a message from Heather, stating that she received my paperwork and she would like to ask me a few questions and then talk about setting up an appointment for a Blood Draw that she could send the the patient's Doctor to confirm that I match the Patient's Marrow enough to donate.

I could not hang up the phone fast enough. I had to talk to Heather so I called her back, she asked about my current cold and if I was taking any medication for it and if I thought it was going away. I answered no medication(I don't like taking ANY if I don't HAVE to) and that yes I feel that its going away and should be gone within the next day or two.

Heather then stated that they would like to set up and appointment for the blood draw to take place. She mentioned a few places that would be able to facilitate the draw and I picked a local hospital, Lakeland Out Patient Services in St. Joe Michigan, then I selected a Day, Thursday the 16th of December 2010 and a Time of 9:30am. We then discussed a few more things, how I am feeling about this and if I had any questions as well as any Days within the next 3 months that I would not be able to donate, I mentioned the 27th and 28th of February being its my Son Jesse's Second Birthday. She acknowledged those days and advised she would let the patients Doctor know.

So thats where I stand right now. I am waiting for Thursday....I have no idea where this is going to take me but I hope that I am able to help someone!!
