6:43 AM


Listening to Bob...(Marley)



(picture @ least 8 more people in the room draped and doing thier job...)


Got the call. Getting ready to head up to the hospital. A lot of tears have already been shed in the last 45 minutes, not for me--but for them. Overcome with grief, have a lot of fear but of course so grateful to God for a new, better beginning for LuLu. May her donor family be surrounded by angels today and forever. I am indebted to them and I hope I am able to personally thank them one day, when they are ready.

Oh my gosh. I totally had a dream last night that today was the day for London. Been thinking about you since then and will be pouring out my heart in prayer all day today for little Lulu, her donor family, the doctors and, of course, you and James. Love you, love you, love you. God bless you, sweet thing. We'll be so anxious for an update.

We are thinking about you -- we were where you are about three years ago when our daughter got part of my liver at 7 months old. We were at Georgetown. Our daughter is doing great now! I am with her as I write and she is a happy and healthy three-and-a-half year old.

Our thoughts are with you!

I'm so excited for baby Lulu....and yet so sad for this sweet family that lost a loved one. I can't imagine how you feel right now and baby Lulu will be in all of our prayers and I know Heavenly Father will be sending the many angels to rally around her on this day. We love you all and please keep us updated if you can as to how she's doing. I'm so thankful the day has come, when I saw Julia's post on Facebook I just about jumped up with joy!!!

My prayers are with Lulu and your whole family that everything is a go and Lulu has a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. My prayers are also with her donor's family. Although they are mourning a great loss I am sure the knowledge that they are helping someone else brings them great peace.
