It happened again, on Sunday February 24th, we were put on stand-by for a possible liver. This time we got the phone call around 8AM. We had our phones on all through church and worried that it would go off at the wrong time, like during a prayer?
     Finally around 2PM we were taken off of alert. We were told this could happen and we understand, however, it's hard when you think have some time and then the call comes. You wait and wait only to be told it won't work. I wonder how we will feel once it's a go. This time we didn't put every thing in motion. Only a few people knew so we didn't have to tell everyone and get people on the roller coaster with us.
     March 11th is going to be a wonderful day. Our good friends, Mike and Kathy Jensen, are sponsoring a fund raiser for Eldon at the Chik-Fil-A at the District in South Jordan. They are raising funds for us and we will have a silent auction there so raise money. I am looking forward to this event.
     Our Papa Murphy's pizza card is doing well and I think the popcorn will be a good event as well. The big one will be in June on the 8th with a dinner and silent auction. We need to work on some entertainment.
     It's getting closer and I can feel it. I just keep praying things will go well, no complications and  healing will be quickly. Thank you, everyone and to our Father in Heaven for watching out over us and caring for us.

     Today was a good day, the transplant team called to let Eldon know that the tumor is dead. It has been successfully treated by the Theraspheres. The liver still have to go but the worry about the cancer/tumor is really gone down.
     A year ago I worried almost every day about whether Eldon would defeat this tumor. I worried about being a widow after only 10 years of marriage. Today I feel a bit more assured that he will be around for many years to come.
     The transplant team also said they feel that the transplant will happen sooner than later. I will be glad when this is behind us, we can then start to look forward to the future. We can make plans for vacations and family get-togethers. Today I feel some of the weight of world has been lifted.  I can see the blessing the Bishop gave us a year ago coming true, bit by bit.
Praise God! I am grateful for all that His has done for us.

     At 10:35 PM last night we received a phone call from the IMC transplant team. They thought they had a liver for us but they wouldn't know until the morning. Great! how I am suppose to go back to sleep. Finally, around 1AM I was able to get back to sleep. The phone rings at 4:23AM, a family member called, concerned, about what was happening. That it I was up.
     I folded clothes, figured out the check book and started preparing mentally to travel down this road. We got ready for church and at 8:30AM we were walking out the door to head to church when the phone rang. PLANS CHANGED! we were heading to the hospital. They wanted us at the hospital and if the liver was a good one the doctor wanted Eldon at the hospital and waiting.
     We hurried, changed our clothing and headed out the door. We arrived at the hospital a little after 9AM. We sat, talked and waited. Finally around 11AM, the coordinator called and said that the liver was not a good one, it was too fatty, that would not be a good one for Eldon.
     So we came home. not really too disappointed. Eldon said he felt like this was not a go. Maybe the third time will be the charmer. Ourtime is coming. I use to think it won't happen until April or May but now I am thinking more like March. We will see.
     I know the Lord is with us and watches out over us. I feel His presence along this journey and I know He's watching out over Eldon very closely.
