We are in Austin about an hour and half drive. Texas is one of the shittiest places to obtain an organ. Our center also suggested Oshner in NOLA and ofcourse Florida but we do not have the means to so so.

We are now #9 on the list. I know that sounds great to most people but it dosen't mean much here in Texas. We still have months and months to wait and he is more sick than ever.

I hope you are a match, it's alot to go through. You'd think it would seem easy but it is not at all! When are you being tested? Hopefully it's soon!
