It's official Jim is a Type I diabetic.
Crazy enough we have been waiting on labs to prove that Jim is Type I instead of Type II in order to schedule his cardiac catherization. This confirmation and procedure are needed because Baylor recently changed the pancreas kidney transplant policy to include a cardiac cath (angiogram) prior to being approved for a pancreas. If Jim were to just get a kidney, this procedure would not be needed. So, today we finally received this confirmation, reporting that he had the correct amount of C-Peptide in his blood for being a Type I. So, now that the cat is out of the bag and Jim is officially Type I (this sentence is loaded with sarcasm) we have scheduled his cardiac cath for mid-late August. Hopefully, according to our case manager this will be the last procedure Jim will have before he is reviewed before the transplant committee to be approved for the list.
Prayer requests: Angiogram goes well and no further testing or procedures will be needed.
