     It's the end of May and so many thoughts are going through my head. We had a stand-by on Wednesday the 15th, it lasted until 6:30PM when the coordinator called to say the liver was going to someone else. I pray for the family who received the new liver and the family who was so generous to donate their loved ones organ. Then, I wonder if it will ever be our turn. I felt like it would happen sometime between mid-April to mid-June, but now that we are looking at the end of May sometimes I wonder and worry.
     I know I must keep a positive attitude for Eldon. He too is feeling the strain of all this waiting, being called for stand-by and then being taken off of stand-by. The hospital/transplant team told us this was possible, I guess we just didn't think it would take so many times. They are so kind and understanding with us.
     Then maybe I shouldn't wish for the surgery to come, there are a whole new set of issues to deal with then. Going through the surgery, the recovery and life long limitations not to mention testing and the possibility of rejection. It just seems like we don't have any control over our lives, we are chained to our house. We can't go more than 2 hours away and we must have a phone with us at all times. Well, this is life. I believe it could be worse. I am praying for things to be better.
     Thank you everyone for all your love and support. Thank you Father in Heaven for enduring my endless prayers and requests for help, blessings and understanding.
