Hi everybody, some bad news, Boston called and told me that I am not the match. Further testing that just became available the last 2 years showed that Bridgette has this antigen in her blood that they don't know where it came from, when mixed with mine, bridgette's body will eventualy reject it. They did repeat testing to make sure, but unfortunately the results came back where I am not the match. Prior to this new testing I would have been the match. I am absolutely devatasted. I can't believe this is happening. How much more can our family take? Bridge is beside herself. I quickly stopped crying and put a whole new spin on it, telling Bridgette that now I would be able to be with her when she went under and that I would be with her when she woke up. I also said that now I would be able to sleep in her room with her every night. This made her happy. We are supposed to have a conference call with Boston tommorrow about our options. So many questions, does this postpone the surgeries? I have no idea. We will hopefully find out as soon as possible if we are going to be able to stay on the targeted dates of the 10th for the first sugery and then the 24th for the transplant. I can't believe the road that God has taken us on, there has to be a reason why, but so far I don't know why. I don't know what else to say.
