I guess we will be learning today if the saying "the third time is the charm" is really true. Mom and Dad got a call from the Transplant team in SLC called them last night to tell them they needed to be at the hospital by 9:00 for a possible transplant. So they got two last minute flights to SLC and are now undergoing testing and other things to prepare for the transplant. We will have to see how things go. I will try to update this as soon as I learn more.
Thanks for your Love, Support and Prayers

Record Snow fall
Beth and I made our way to Kanab as planned on Tuesday. We got a late start and did not get to Kanab till 2330 hours. We had decent roads until we turned south of I-70 on to US 89 then the further we went the worse the roads got. We finally made it to Kanab with no incident but my poor wife was very worn out.
We did not do much Wed. We got to visit with Liz Kolle and then we went over to visit with Que and Carla Johnson. We were only going to stay a for a little while we got there at 10 after six and didn't leave till after midnight. Time just seamed to go so fast. They are such great support to us sharing their transplant experience with us. It sure makes a big difference and gives us so much hope.
On Thursday we headed to phoenix we had bad weather the whole way and lots of snow on the roads. When we got to Flagstaff we found all the fast food restaurants closed due to the storm. Luckily we found a gas station open. we st oped to Potty. The attended told us that the Road was closed to Phoenix because of the snow. We decided to go as far as we could. That way we would know as soon as they opened up the road. We got through Flagstaff and on to I-17 then found the signs saying Road Closed. We took the off ramp and at the top were some ADOT workers we stopped and asked if they had any idea on when the road would reopen and they said they just opened it for a few hours to go ahead. We continued on the road.
As we got lower in elevation we left snow and got into record rainfall the dry washes were all raging there was some flooding over the road. We just pushed on. Then once in Phoenix the highway was closed down due to a giant tent that had been blown done by the wind and blew across the highway. We took a detour around the closure and made it to the Horn's house at 2030 hours. I can tell you looking back on the trip that we felt protected and blessed the whole way.
Friday we went to our appointment with the Mayo Clinic and things went well. They want me to see a Dermatologist for the rash on my belly and have set that up for Wed. since I will be in town.
Sat. was a recuperation day. Sun. We went to church with the Horn's then had a great dinner. At 2000 hours we meet Roy and the Scottsdale Missionaries at the Mayo Clinic and and picked him up. He will be with us through the week of testing he will have to go through.
That is the latest from me. I am doing fairly good. I truly continue to See the Lords hands in blessing me and my family throughout this experience. I am so thank full to the great people in IF that are helping with are children. There are so many to thank. We are hanging in there pretty well and continue to give prayers of thanks to our Lord. May God pour out his blessings on you also.
