we are getting a kidney!

wow. what amazing news we got today! our angel is a match and she is willing to give bailey one of her kidneys. amazing. i get goose bumps every time i think about it. a woman who just a few months ago knew us only from visits to the pediatrician's office is now willing to give an organ to our family . . . how crazy, wonderful, amazing, unbelievable is that? what a great day this is! we have so much to be thankful for. . . so much to be excited about! in a matter of months our lives can be "normal" again. we will have our family back . . . all because of a beautiful, wonderful woman! it is impossible not to feel lucky! :) i never would have imagined this a year ago. it makes you truly grateful for each moment you have and makes you really appreciate your health and the health of your kids. now there is extra meaning in every moment we spend together . . . even the little things like catching bugs or building with legos . . . i catch myself wanting to remember each moment because you just never know. the big day is may 24th! the countdown is on! :) now we are just making arrangements and getting things figured out for our stay in houston!
