Update on Mike's Race to a New Heart

Mike has almost completed all of the necessary pre-transplant tests and procedures. He goes next week for two minor consultations and procedures. Then the next week (Monday, January 25th) he will be admitted to the hospital for a round of iv treatment for pulmonary hypertension. It it dangerous to transplant a heart in a patient that has pulmonary hypertension, so they must treat this issue first before he gets his new heart. It should take just a few days and he will hopefully be out of the hospital around Wednesday of the same week. If all goes well during that trip to the hospital then the waiting game...and the praying...officially begins.
