It's the end of July and we are still waiting. I asked Eldon last night if he felt like anything was in the works, is he felt any inspiration. He said "No, I have nothing".
We have a very close young friend in the Missionary Training Center and in his last email he said he prays everyday that the new liver will come and he feels that it's coming soon. I sure hope he's right.
We have this young couple in our neighborhood who is facing a very horrible experience. The young father is dying. It started with melanoma and has now spread to his brain and lung.I feel so fortunate that we will make it through this experience. His young children are going to grow up without their daddy. We are doing to help as much as we can with fund raising events. We pray for the mother and children.
The Auger Family Reunion is only 11 days away. It's pretty sad that we can't take the trailer, go and camp. Maybe next year, however, that's not even for sure at this point. As the time goes on, the ability to do things get pushed further back. That includes camping, fishing and vacationing. So is life.
Thank you everyone for supporting and caring for us. It's that support that helps keep us going. We thank our Father in Heaven for caring and watching out over Eldon.

Today we had a message from Eldon's cousin Julie, she said she had read the last blog and was wondering how Friday night/Saturday morning turned out. Then it dawned on me that I had not posted the current happenings.
The hospital did everything needed to prep Eldon for surgery, the surgical papers were sitting in the room. Eldon slept a little bit during the night, Heather and I were wide awake. Around 4AM, I was walking down the hall and heard the nurse ask about the surgical papers and if they were signed. So I was thinking, "Yep, this still can be a go". At 4:20AM, the nurse, Michael, came in and said the liver was going out of state. He said we could stay and sleep some or we could go home. Eldon said he wanted to go home to his own bed. By 5AM, we are both crawling into our bed for some much needed sleep.
This is the farthest that we have ever been, we also know what to expect pre-surgery wise. I am hoping the next time will be "the time". Just hoping that it's not another two months before we get the next call.
Thank you everyone for all the love and support. We are grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who watches out over us and cares for us.
