"Whitey" (Joe) received a call on Wednesday night and we just about flew to Loyola Medical Center where he was prepped for the surgery and about the time the nurse was going to start the IV medication, the harvesting surgeon called from the hospital where he was to say the donor lungs were not perfect and he was scrapping the transplant for that night.
So, although we were disappointed, we know he'll get another chance (sooner rather than later) and we are prepared, I know I can drive in that state of heightened adrenalin, and we know exactly what to expect when we get there----we'll get through this and he will come home and be well!!!!! If you Pray, pray for us!!!
The next time, I will not call and excite everyone saying we are on our way, I'll call when I know the surgery is actually going to happen.
I didn't know it could NOT happen.
