MORE FLUSHING
  For the last two Tuesday's Keith and i have gone to Kamloops to get my catheter flushed, change my bandages and have a found of dialysis. It has gone well and we thanks God for this and also for His travelling mercies.
  At one of these visits the nurse informed us that i would only need to have my dialysis while i sleep! We are very thankful for this news! That means that i fill my abdomen before i go to bed and empty it in the morning. ( the fluid can remain in me for up to 12 hours.)

Next week Keith and i will be going to Kamloops Hospital from Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm to learn how to administer my dialysis to me. (as of Friday the 23 we will be administering it to me at home.) We ask that you pray for travelling mercies and complete understanding of this process.




PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7.
  "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
  The Lord has heard all of our prayers and found me a KIDNEY MATCH!!!
A great friend of mine, Rona Kuit tried to be a match for me but she was unsuccessful. She then decided to go on the paired exchange and was found to be healthy enough for this. The Lord found a match for her kidney, which she will donate to a total stranger and therefore in turn they have found a match for me from another perfect stranger!
  If all things go well Rona and myself will be having our surgeries on March 18 or 19, 2015!
Keith and i are trusting that the Lord will continue to guide us , keep us and bless us and that not a hair can fall from our heads without His will!
Thank you all for your prayers and kind words.
Love from Keith and Bonita.
