    Hi Raye,

    Hi Ashley,

    Your news is terrific and I know how you feel right now! You’ve had the two most amazing individuals working for you. Julie Heimbach was my surgeon and she is the most amazing person. God provided the best for all of you.

    Keep in touch and let us know how everything works out for your mother. If you have any questions about the recovery etc. just ask.

    I have some good news!! My mother was able to have her transplant surgery today at the Mayo in Rochester with my brother as the live donor. Both surgeries went well per our discussions with the amazing doctors ( Dr. Heimbach and Rosen) that made this miracle happen. My mom will have a long road to recovery with many ups and downs I am sure, but we are headed in the right direction.

    Of course, I didnt go through the surgeries myself, but I have to say that even compared to the actual transplant surgery, it was the staging surgery yesterday (to see if the cancer spread) that was the most emotional part of this entire journey for me. We waited almost 8 hours for my mom to get into the surgery and get results that today would even happen. If you would like to follow any of the updates my mom has a carepage: http://www.carepages.com ( search: joanjackson)

    I wish you all a Happy thanksgiving and thank you all for your support since I joined here back in July. I think about each and every one of you on this board either fighting this monster disease physically yourself or the caregivers that have the emotional battle. I just hope someday there will be a cure. Keep fighting – it’s all we can do.

    One other thing Ashley,

    Have you checked out the Gift of Life house yet? It’s a great place to stay post surgery and you can even stay there right before transplant. It’s a great place and it might even save you a few $’s because it’s only $25 per night. I loved that place!
