So the latest. As I was getting ready to leave my apartment to go to the airport yesterday morning at 6am MST, I called mom to let her know I was awake. I said, "Did you know I am coming to see you today?" And Mom says, "Well Susan, there has been a change in plans... we are at Cleveland Clinic. They called at 3am with possible organs." OMG! He has only been listed for 8 days! This is a miracle!! Well, as the doctors warned us, there would be false alarms, and this was one of them. A friend of mine commented on my Facebook yesterday, this was a trial run to get us all ready for the real thing. Mom and Pop spent the whole day (literally) at the Clinic. They came home about 11pm last night because Ohio is supposed to get some nasty weather today. They made it home safe and sound and hopefully today we can all get together.
It is an odd thing, this whole transplant process. On one hand I am so grateful for the family who decided to offer their loved one's organs up to those who needed transplants, and at the same time, so sad for their loss, and then again, so disappointed that the liver was not a good match for Pop. We all knew this process was going to be.... emotional, but I personally had no idea what exactly that meant.
So we wait a bit more... as everyone keeps saying, "It will work out" and I know that it will. I am so glad that I am with my family right now, and hope that things continue to "work out."
I will keep you all posted as we hear news...
Love,
~Susan
