They're trying to get hubby listed ASAP!

[Guest guest]

I guess the " good " news is, now that all of his pre-transplant testing is done,

the doctor that

has been seeing him since he's been in the hospital this time, is really pushing

to get him

listed ASAP. He told this morning that with things where they are now, he

was going to

personally talk to the transplant surgeons about going ahead and listing him.

They present

cases to the committee every Tuesday but this doctor wants to get him listed

BEFORE

Tuesday. Anyway, we never heard back today, so it hasn't happened yet but maybe

by the

end of the week. He also told that with him being as sick as he is right

now, he'd

probably be pretty high on the list. I guess that's the " good " news. The bad

news is, he's

THAT sick! He's not critical by any means but his quality of life is seriously

lagging right now.

Despite all of that, he is in remarkably good spirits and anxiously awaiting

news of being

listed. I never thought I'd be so excited about something so serious and scary

but as many of

you know, by the time you reach this point, you're ready! Poor guy looks and

feels awful. He's

the color of a pumpkin. He's lost weight and didn't have much to lose to begin

with (he

started at about 120). And right now he's missing out on SO much. He missed my

ultrasound

yesterday and tomorrow we're supposed to go to court because I'm trying to adopt

his

daughter. I'm still going, but obviously he can't. I just want him well!

Have faith! I was told they only listed

on Wednesday and that I would be called after their weekly meeting to go let me

know where I was on the list. I got my call at 2:30 am – before their

weekly meeting and was transplanted early that morning.

You both will be in my thoughts and

prayers. Keep us posted.
