Yesterday the doctors told us that Tom had 48 hours to live, unless a liver came within the next day, pretty awful day for us. We spent the whole day crying and trying to imagine our immediate future, Christmas Day etc. Heatbreaking stuff for us, the worst ever sinking feeling.

Right at the end of the day the transplant surgeon comes in casually to tell us that a donor has been found, and surgery will happen tomorrow- :eek::eek::eek::eek: We were shocked!!!! Out of nowhere! Just when we thought it was all over, we get another chance. Tom has been going so bad the last 10 days, on 100% life support, his whole body is a mess and is so upsetting to see, the surgery is scheduled to begin in 6 hours, and takes about 12 hours to do. We have been warned that his is a more complicated case, and a fair amount of risk is involved, more than usual, but hey it has to be done.

FINGERS CROSSED PEOPLE! You all have done such great work, i can feel it. So much support, i'm going to bring in to the hospital the special AL you all signed, good vibes all the way!!!!

Rob, my prayers are with you, Belinda, and, of course, young Tom. Glad to hear that there is available liver. We're all pulling for your family.
