A note from Jeff's sister, with permission to share...

He was happy for such a quick response, and said I can go ahead and tell you what's going on.

Jeff is in Shands...almost 5 years ago he had a kidney transplant, and now they fear he may be rejecting it 'cause the kidney's not working so well.

His spirits are high, and so far we really don't know much of anything...they're collecting info, etc...don't know how long this will take or how long he'll be in...

Good news: We're blessed he's in the right place for this.

Thanks for the warm wishes!

Jodi

oh poor Jeff. best to him and his family. go go gadget kidney.

Thanks, Laura. For e-mailing and sharing the response (I was about to click on "send" right when I saw your post, and I'm glad I didn't - I guess Jeff's sister has enough on her hands right now).

All the possible health vibes for Jeff, and calmness to both him and his family.

He is ridiculously excited.

That's so cute! Is that the first - I'm not sure how to phrase it - close-family wedding he's going to attend?

Oh dear, I hope they can fix Jeff's kidney!

Everything good and health-inducing to Jeff and his fam and friends.

Well, if Jeff ends up needing a new kidney he should let the hive-mind know.

It would be a first for us but I wouldn't be shocked if we pulled it off. Or out. Or, well, you know...

Oh wow, that's rough. Here's wishing health-ma to Jeff.

Nilly, yes, I think this is his first close-family wedding. My sister is gonna make him wear one of those hilariously gay but ridiculously cute suits w/ the short pants and he's gonna toss flower petals hither and thither.

Oh, dear. Prayers to Jeff and family.
