Dave Update -- Its good news

Hi everyone!

Today marks a milestone in the testing for a donor. Dave's mom is in the beginning stages of being tested for a kidney match. Please keep your fingers crossed that they are a complete match.

Dave began dialysis last week, he goes 3 days a week for about 5 hours each session. It is draining on him and totally stinks but he wakes up each day thankful for all the love and support he is getting from our friends and family. Your cards and emails have been a huge encouragement for Dave and we are so grateful!

In an effort to help spread the word about Kidney Disease, we are requesting everyone follow the link below and order your FREE Kidney Health bracelet. Your support for Dave is greatly appreciated. We wear our bracelet as a reminder that this disease will not consume us. It is best put by Maya Angelou, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it."

Keep the prayers pouring in!
Love to all,
Dave and Andrea
