If you know me, you know that my Mom has been sick for a long time. She's been on the list for a lung transplant for some time. She got a call today saying that they have a lung for her. She called me at about 6:45 pm and told me that she loved me, and that her and Dad were heading up to Madison. I haven't heard from her since.
The last time they called they told her to just wait at home and they would let her know more as soon as they could. This time they told her to just head up there. So the fact that they at least made it up there seems like there's a better chance that this might actually happen.
I talked to Rhett about an hour ago. She's hooked up to the machines and ready to go, they just need to harvest the lung. I'm not totally sure what that entails...
I'm really excited, and this is super good news, but I'm just worried about everything. I mean, the surgery's gonna be pretty rough, and then the chances of her rejecting the lung are pretty high I guess. I just want her to be ok. I love her so much.
I don't know where I'm going with this. I started rambling. If you're the praying kind, please keep my Mom in your thoughts. That'd be great! Thanks!
