Thank you friends, family and strangers for the calls, texts, emails and comments this morning...they've boosted our spirits. When we arrived there was a whole team ready and waiting for her-draped, masked and ready to check her out. She has had many preliminary labs and tests done to make sure she is healthy enough to undergo surgery. So, we are waiting.... but I think very few things would allow for her Doctor to put the brakes on this. We CANT be sent home, could not deal with going through this again.

All I know about the donor is that he/she has given Lu a very good offer. I will not know age, name, gender, cause of death...anything at all about the donor until later when and if the family wants to be in contact with us. My impression is that he or she may be here @ PCMC but I'm not positive. I am wondering how many others are also benefiting this day, their prayers answered as well.

Surgery could begin anywhere from a few hours from now to several hours from now depending on the harvesting of other organs from the donor. So for now we are sitting in LuLus room while she's hooked up to different fluids to help her with imbalances she is having (sodium, sugars etc.) with both sets of Grandparents, Heather May (reporter) and Steve Griffen (photographer) and my sister Julia. We are in good company.
