Transplant is on for tomorrow

[Guest guest]

I just got word from town that everyone has signed off on

approvals for the surgery, and unlike last time, there is nothing

standing in the way of the transplant. Surgery is set for tomorrow

(Thursday) at 8 am.

My donor is a saint. The last hurdle for him to cross was an

arteriogram, originally scheduled for 9 am yesterday. Due to various

glitches, the procedure didn't start until six hours later, and he was

not allowed to go home until nearly midnight.

I'm completely at peace going into this. God has blessed me beyond my

wildest dreams, and He will be walking with me throughout this next

adventure.

Kathy will keep the caringbridge site up to date until I can do so

myself. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/thomasbutler is the address.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and best wishes. We'll

catch you on the other side.
