#TeamCole Please help support the family during & after Cole’s transplant.

Belleview, FL

Story

With all the negative right now please take a moment to cherish the WONDERFUL news I'm going to share! Our family is beyond excited, nervous, apprehensive, humbled, and super ecstatic that we received the call that .... COLE IS GETTING A KIDNEY JULY 7TH!!!!! ....last year at this time Cole was going to recieve a kidney from a donor, our friend Amber, when labs revealed that Coles blood changed, and Amber was no longer a match. That didn't stop her.. She's said from day one that God told her she was going to be involved with Cole getting a kidney and thanks ALL to her, he is!!! Amber signed up for the SWAP program where she'll give her kidney to anyone in exchange around the country for a kidney for Cole. Another family from Chicago is in the same program and Cole will recieve his kidney from a 33 yr old healthy matching donor July 7th at Shands in Gainesville. Due to COVID 19, Only 2 guests can accompany Cole and no visitors are allowed in the waiting area. We are asking that you please continue to support Cole in this journey by lifting Cole, the hospital staff, the donor, and Amber up in prayer during the coming days. This is Coles 2nd transplant so the risks of rejection are high. Cole is already on home quarantine and our family will be quarentined for 6 weeks after his transplant, as they have advised us it is critical for him not to come into contact with people and potential illness. The common cold could be critical and even kill him if he contracted it after transplant. Thank you EVERYONE for all the years of continued prayers, love, support, and awareness. Our lives, especially Coles, are ever touched by our friends and family. John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. Our Father, the Great I Am, is continually blessing us, COLE, with health, strength, encouragement, and love. We are forever grateful for these moments in our life where miracles are happening steadfast. Praise be to GOD for this miracle.


Special Notes

With the family unsure how long Cole will be in the hospital & what his dietary restrictions will be, in lieu of meals being taken to the family, gift cards are being requested. Pasta Faire, Belleview Pizza, Sonny’s, Outback, Carrabbas, Cody’s, Texas Road House, Applebee’s, Publix or visa gift cards that can be used for food or gas.   With COVID restrictions no visitors will be allowed at the hospital. In addition, once Cole gets home he will be in quarantine for 6 months as his immune system will be depleted while in the hospital. Visitors will be at the discretion of the family. Please check with Leona or Chris if you want to visit & do not be offended if you are told no. Their top priority is Cole & his recovery once he gets home.
