"The" Call

After only a few short months of waiting, today at 5:07 p.m. CT, my Mom got the call to come immediately to the hospital for a heart transplant. She'll be receiving this gift of extended life from a 48-year old woman who's name and last steps in life are unknown. Whoever you are: THANK YOU to you and your family for making such an important donation.

I'd appreciate any thoughts, prayers, crossed-fingers, transplant dances and assorted positive spiritual energy flows directed her way this evening as she undergoes her surgery. I'll keep everyone posted on how she's doing. More details to follow.
