Being able to see that light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t always correlate to it being right around the corner. If there’s one thing I’ve had to master during my health battle, its the art of patience.

On Saturday, Dec 12th (just days before my scheduled transplant) I tested positive for Covid 19 effectively cancelling any and all plans for a transplant in the immediate future. How I contracted the virus is unknown since I’ve literally not left the house since the first test two weeks ago.

As a kid I had a very bad temper and it was something I worked on as I matured. Before I got sick I never had to be patient and was accustomed to doing practically whatever I wanted, when I wanted. Within reason, of course. I’m grateful for these lessons and submit that I will continue to stay positive and control only that which I’m able.

I know that God’s plan is already in place and I’m going to choose to believe that this is too a part of his character building exercise for me. Everything will be as it is supposed to be.

I’m feeling ok for the most part, mild symptoms and fever.

My doctors have assured me that as soon as I’m clear and I bribe Marcus (tested Negative) to come back around, we can reschedule. For now I have to focus on making it through the next week or so.

Please continue your support, and prayers for my family also. My parents and sister went today to be tested so hopefully they have not been impacted.

Thank you!
