A nothing sound.....
Alright, so I've been getting some grief lately that this blog went from 90 to nothing but quite frankly, that's just the way it goes.
I haven't had any exciting calls lately. No major doctor appointments (next big one is in late July).
I did receive a call from my transplant coordinator after the last fiasco telling me to "not go very far".
I had a couple short trips planned for this summer but she seems to think that anything farther than 2 hours away is really "rolling the dice". But then, as alway, she quickly covered herself and said "Having said that, it may be months until you get another call". Argh.
And so that's where things stand as of now.
I do appreciate you all checking in here so feel free to give me grief anytime about keeping things updated. ; )
Until the next...

Another bust....
Got the word at 1:30 that the recovered organs just weren't up to par so I'm on my way home. I gotta believe this will happen sometime but until then I feel like the boy who cried "transplant!".
Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, and calls.
I'll keep you posted.

Sunday. Sunday. Sunday.
After a very long night, the lead surgeon just came by to tell me that they are recovering organs right now and I should know by noon but, he also said there is a pretty good chance that I may not even get these organs (long story).
I'll keep you all posted.
Give a wink to a statue at church for me today.
Thanks.

Hurry up and wait...
Ok... all checked in here with some fine accommodations. They are putting me through loads of bloodwork, EKG's, x-rays and now the wait begins. Talked with the surgeon, it may be tomorrow morning if anything happens.
One more time around might do it....
It's a beautiful day here in south-central Pennsylvania. I just got a call from the transplant center telling me that I am number one on the list and they have potential organs. So I'm on my way there to be admitted.
I'll keep you all posted.
Please keep me in your prayers.
