Tina called Derrek today and said one of the transplant surgeons took a closer look at Derrek's CT scan and his "anatomy is kind of weird" (Derrek's translation) so they need to do a different kind of scan next week that will give them a better look. I'm not sure if it has to do with the anatomy of the kidney they want to take or where they're located in relation to other organs or how the arteries connect or something else. He's not either. He has to go to a different hospital for the test and they are supposed to call him to schedule it and they didn't do that today. So it looks like it will be at least Labor Day until this is figured out. It's good to know they're checking and double-checking everything.
Chris finished up his testing this week with an EKG and stress test. The doctors say he's "healthy" enough for a transplant.
