Life in general

[Jessica Olivia Frysz]

Well, life in general has been good, I've gotten over the fact that my potential donor backed out on me. Ever since that day, life has been a roller coaster. My own mom brings up a point that she would like to get tested again, but we have one mian issue on our hands and that is Facter H. Would the factor H be a problem? My mom contacted my very nice and helpful transplant coordinator at Johns Hopkins to see if the factor H would be an issue, she is going to take that up with the team to see if there is some kind of hope that could come out of this. A day after my mom says this, my potential donor contacts me again, and says that Johns Hopkins contacted him, asking if he is still interested in donating, loan and behold he says to them that he is still willing to donate. I'm being confronted by another person at my school who would also like to be tested, it's strange how God works, but somehow he will choose the right one. It would be nice if my mom could donate, she has been wanting to do this since I was first diagnosed, but she was never a close match, only my dad was. My sister says to me today that she would be more than willing to donate, however, she wants to have kids, and in order for her to do that, she needs 2 kidneys to do that, if she gave me a kidney now and then tried to have children, it would be putting strain on her body. As loving and generous my sister is, I can't accept that gift from her, not right now since I do want nieces and nephews someday, so she is my back up.

It has been, without a doubt a roller coaster ride, my life is never ending (good thing). I've been keeping up in school, got keep up there, or else I'm in trouble. I have my fistulogram on Tuesday at 12pm, and who knows, maybe I can go and watch my dance class (if all goes well). My preceptorship- Oh my gosh, I'm enjoying that! I've intubated so many dogs, that it's not even funny, I've collected blood, ran hearworm tests, have heat fixed and stained some ear smears to look under the microscope, have restrained some animals, including a guinea pig, have taken and developed x-rays of some interesting animals. I have seen some very interesting surgeries as well, all in all I know this is what I want to do, but in maybe a zoo or aquarium setting. I enjoy animals behavior as well, so who knows, maybe somewhere doen the line you'll be seeing me in a seaworld show or something hahaha.

Hahaha Cheryl, actually that would be a dream of mine, to work with the killer whales :) Not the sharks, possibly the dolphins. We will see where life will take me of course. I would love to work in a zoo or an aquarium of sorts.

With the hard work,you your mom, dad, doctors & nurses have put in just keeping you healthy, you'd better stay out of the Killer whale tank and sharks! Just kidding.
