To Nan/OneEye Blind's Friends......

Somehow, my cell voicemail got screwed up. Seems A WEEK AGO, Nan left me a msg, telling me she and Red were on their way to Pittsburgh.
Red has been on the liver transplant list for months now. They have made at least 2 trips in vain, due to liver viability in each case. It's been tough, waiting, packed, hoping the "special cell phone" would ring, rushing when it does so the window of opportunity doesn't close in on them, waiting, and hoping....and, in the bargain, HOPING Red can stay healthy enough for this transplant!
Please take a moment and wish them BOTH well. Say your prayers, send Nan some strength. They wont be home for awhile, and I suspect they have plenty of family rallied round them, but it doesnt mean they couldnt use a little more support.
Nan would tell you, right now, she's leaving it in God's hands- it's the best thing she can do.
Thank you,
Cathi

If you speak to her, tell her Wendy sends prayers to Red and her from afar.
Still remember how excited she and Kim got over the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and how they heckled the London Bus Tour Guide (nicely!)

Piece of advice... never give up hope. My friend Sandy was 3 hours away from being unplugged from her respirator when they found a transplantable lung. 3 hours. We had all already said 'goodbye', and then we had to put up with two more years of her. Sadly, as a lot of you know, we lost her last year, but that was two bonus years for sure.

WOW!
So here I thought they were transplanted and healing...seems that Red JUST got his liver today! JUST got off the phone with Nancy. They had 8,,,countem, 8 false calls, ie:livers that werent viable. false starts......but, today, after 5.5 hrs of surgery, Red has a new liver-AND HE's DOING WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nan asked me to thank those of you who were praying. She told me tonight, "this in one of those times when you simply have to put it all in God's hands". And she did. And all looks good!
Yippeee! Sleep well, Nan & Red...... job well done!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
