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.
