Welllll, it happened again. On Sunday nights we sit outside with some of the neighbors, just talking and getting to know each other. Last night was no different.
EXCEPT..............as we were walking into the house Eldon's cell phone went off. He said he didn't recognise the number and I told him he should answer it.
I can always tell when it's the transplant team because he goes into this monotone type voice and his responses are "Okay" over and over again. "Alright" over and over again. He will stare into space. Valerie, the coordinator, called and told him to pack a bag, there was a liver in California, if the liver came to Utah it would be Eldon's. The coordinator said she could call us in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. We did manage to sleep just fine, woke with the alarm, got ready for work and off we went.
Around 9AM I encouraged Eldon to call the transplant team and find out what was going on. They said the liver was staying in California. AGAIN?????? we didn't get this liver either. I hope the person who got it is so happy and I hope they live a long and happy life.
Now,when will it be our turn for real? Who knows, it will happen when it happens. I just feel so bad for my sweet little farm boy as we ride this roller coaster. He's not a roller coaster fan. So we wait, we do our best to live our lives the way we should. We make plans and do fun things to make life enjoyable. We also give thanks to our Lord above and know that He is watching out over us.
