Craig and Stacy and their two girls (Karis, 9 and Aimee, 7) got in to Baltimore last night.  We enjoyed a fun day here with them today.  Craig is going to the hospital tomorrow for final pre-op testing.  Brent is being admitted to the hospital on Monday December 12 for plasmapheresis (to remove antibodies from his blood to prevent kidney rejection), eculizimab (an infusion to prevent the original blood disease from coming back), and dialysis.  Surgery is at 5:30am on Tuesday morning December 13.  Thank you for your continued prayers for endurance and peace!
