Last night was an interesting one. We had a meeting about the final fund raising activity for 2013. I explained the change in the rules to some of the people there. We have decided to just take it as it comes. Just around 10PM, the phone rings, it's IMC transplant team. We were put on "alert", we were told that the final decision would not be made until morning. They weren't even sure the liver would stay here in Utah. So we went to sleep, yes we did go to sleep. I had a feeling like this was not the one for us.
At 11:20PM, the phone rings. It's the transplant team again. We were no longer on alert. Seems the donor had some issues and the liver was no longer an option.
I feel bad for the family that lost their loved one. I feel bad for those that are desperate to get a new liver. We are doing well, we can wait a little while. I wish more people would be aware of the need for organ donations and be willing to help those in need.
September is just around the corner. Our ward is sponsoring a "Fathers and Sons" event on the 13th and 14th. Eldon will meet up with Corey and Clayton, son and grandson, he will have a good time then. It will make all this waiting and on alerts, not on alerts much better.
So we move on, we wait and we praise our Father in Heaven.
