Memphis in May is a world wide BBQ championship, but for me it equals transplant time.
Lindsey is in remission and we're both getting our testing to prepare for the big event. The kids and I arrived in Memphis Tuesday night. After meeting with the transplant surgeon and almost donating blood(a story for another time), my week is done.
Lindsey will be admitted to the transplant floor Saturday, get chemo for a few days, radiation for a few days, then on Friday I'll go in bright and early for my donation and she'll be transfused later that day. They asked me to stay put until then, which means spending lots of time with the newest Memphisians (the Pitchers) and revisiting all of our favorite former spots.
We ask for your prayers during this crazy and critical time.
