Needless to say it has been a very exciting day!!!!
Dad was suppose to come into clinic today to meet with infectious disease to see if they could remove the pic line and if he could stop the IV antibiotics!
We instead got the best news ever!!!!
THEY HAVE A HEART!
That was the news Dad got 20 minutes before they were walking out the door!
Dad is on the phone cool as a cucumber and says to Mom, " so yeah, they want me to bring all of my equipment in when I come because they have a match." Matter of fact, like he said he was having a turkey sandwich for lunch!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mom and I spent the next 20 minutes loading up all of his LVAD equipment grabbing a suitcase to throw it all in, threw some clothes in a bag and jumped in to the Prius, luckily it was a nice non rainy sunny day :)
We were all pretty excited, we made phone calls to the boys to let them know. Poor Joe just got back to New Jersey last night and he left work to come back up here.
He and Julie kept very busy with the magical paper cup. She thought it was great!
Brendan and Kerry got here with the kids in record time too. Lauren is on her way here from NJ. She left right after school and is staying with us at the hospital tonight.
It has been a whirlwind 12 hours!
We waited in the family library with Dad while they got the paperwork together. This was the first book we saw! I think it was a good sign.
So now the waiting begins but at least it is the best wait we have had in four years!
Please, Please, Please
Keep the prayers and well wishes coming. Today they are more important than ever!
Will have an update tomorrow after surgery!
Until Tomorrow,
Laurie
