Johns Hopkins contacted me today to let me know they've located a perfect match. They need to make certain the donor is still available and willing. If so, I'll begin my preliminary tests soon with tentative transplant dates 11/22, 11/29, or 11/30 if all goes well. My husband and I are very emotional at this point, both excited and scared. I will know more next Monday.
