Call Number Two

Well tonight the phone rang at Mom and Pop's House at about 6pm EST. It was the transplant coordinator from the Cleveland Clinic telling us that there is another chance for a transplant. Mom and Pop left for the Clinic at about 6:30. It is just impossible to explain the feeling that comes across each time the phone rings, and then to look at the Caller ID and see "Cleveland Clinic" - your heart just stops.

I will post here as updates come in. I don't expect to hear anything from Mom until about 10 or 11pm tonight telling us that they have arrived. If Friday was any indication of what might be expected, it could be morning until we hear anything definitive about Pop.

Love to all..... Let's hope this is the Merriest of Christmases.

**Update 1 - Mom just called. She and Pop made it safe and sound to the Cleveland Clinic (in record time lol). The word is right now that the organs are not expected to arrive until around 2am. Tentative surgery time is 6am 12/24/2009. I say tentative because nothing will be definite until it actually happens. More updates tomorrow morning.... Gonna try to get some sleep tonight.
