Hi everyone, last time I wrote I told you about the swelling in Bridgette's neck, well we went for an ultrasound to check if there were any clots or if there was a mass and they found nothing so that is good news. Bridge still has some swelling but no respiratory compromise, so we are leaving well enough alone. If she still has some swelling post transplant then we will pursue it further. The transplant is still set for the 10th of December, we are so very happy. We are spending Thanksgiving at my mom's house in Delmar and I think I will run the turkey trot again up at Stratton before we leave. We are also getting our Christmas tree this weekend due to the fact that we really won't get to enjoy a tree this year, so even it is for only 1 week, it will still be festive. Stratton is not opening until the 4th of December it looks like, so no worries with work. I probably will start after we get back from the hospital. We will have to travel to Boston 2x a week after the transplant for testing so we will see how that is going to pan out, I still don't know the schedule for that yet, but I'm sure it will all work out. I miss work but life is getting in the way. We want everyone to know that the National Kidney Foundation has moved the drawing for the 1 week Naples trip with round trip tickets, courtesy of my Uncle Craig and Aunt Phyllis, forward a week or 2. The drawing will be held in mid December. They have sold 82 tickets so far. If you want a chance to win you can go to the National Kidney Foundation of Northeast NY page or you can go to www.firstgiving.com/bridgethegap and look it up and print a ticket. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone, and will update as soon as there are any changes. Love to all, Megan
