As many of you know, Nic, Mike’s brother, found out last summer that he needs a kidney transplant. Four of the siblings were able to be tested to see if any of them would be able to give Nic one of their kidneys. Two of the siblings were perfect matches. We are now to a point where the transplant surgery, that has for a long time seemed for away, is actually now quite close. The surgery will take place at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago on May 28th. It is not yet known if the surgery will be in the morning or the afternoon. They expect John’s surgery to last approximately 2 or 3 hours and then Nic’s surgery to last about 3 or 4 hours. We tentatively expect John will be able to return home on May 30 or 31 and Nic a few days later. There is a pre-transplant meeting scheduled for next week and as we learn more details, I will try to update you. For more detailed information, please step on over to www.normalrassis.blogspot.com. We will do our best to keep you informed and on behalf of the family we sincerely thank you for your love, concern, care, and prayers.
