We Have A Due Date / Arrival date!

A due date sounds funny, but we are due to arrive at the SCCA, with our donor, to begin the preparations for Terry's transplant on March 31st. The term due date fits well since we look forward to this occasion as representing new life for Terry and for our family as a whole.
We are hoping and praying for everything to go smoothly and that every little thing will be the easiest possible for all involved, especially for Terry and his health as he travels this road, but also for the many others involved.

Stage 1 is going strong:
- we have our names on a waiting list for an apartment at the Pete Gross House,
- our new "message center" is up and ready to inform all who need to know the goings and comings of our household,
- we are stocking the shelves and packing our bags (not our clothes, but some food and some things to keep us busy while we are there),
- we are making lists and checking things off as we go.

We are gearing up for stage 2 of this procedure, which begins March 31st.
- Gregory and Adena will be heading out on the 28th to come stay here with the kids.
- Thomas and Dana will be caring for the farm.
(Of course they will be helping each other with their responsibilities.)
- Brandon and Megan are compiling a list of places of interest nearby the SCCA so that we have some entertainment when Terry's health allows.
- Many are offering their help and we do feel loved. We have no doubt that there are prayers offered in our behalf, and they are being answered. Thank you!

We do see things falling into place and we are so grateful.
Stay tuned for updates along the way.
