3:24 a.m.
"On The Road Again" by Willy Nelson started running through my mind at about 11:00 p.m. last night. That would have been 15 minutes after we got the 10:45 p.m. (10/01/08) call from the Transplant Coordinator at Chapel Hill with an organ offer.
This is the initial organ offer we received on Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. I do not know what took place, and I'm sure we never will have the details, but the organ was offered to Alan initially and he accepted so when it's back out as an offer he has the first option.
At this time we are in the Acute Treatment Room at the ER in Chapel Hill. We are only in here because the place is packed. We've been at the hospital since about 11:30 and arrived in this room about 45 minutes to an hour ago.
Alan has had the initial work up again. We've taken it a step farther this time and he's had some medicine they wanted him to have as well. Maybe, one step closer.
When Alan received the call they said he would be scheduled for early morning surgery. Yesterday we learned that you take the time they give you +4 hours. That might be the time you head into surgery. So, at this time, we are again in the holding pattern.
He's doing well, resting and ready to have this over with so the next stage can begin.

You have not updated your blog in quite a few hours so I am hoping that is a good sign. We are praying that everything works out.

I can't imagine what all the ups and downs must be to go through. Just keep the end goal in mind, whatever you have to do will be worth it when you get there. I'm pulling for all of you.
