Those of you who read my better half’s blog may know that for the last few months, she’s been on the transplant list for a new pancreas. She got THE CALL today.. we dropped everything, hightailed it over to UCSF, waited around for over three hours, and then found out the donor’s family had changed their mind at the last moment, wanted to give him or her another two days to wake up. So we might go through all this again in the next few, or if not, still sounds like it’ll be soon. Fingers crossed!

3:09 am: It’s a go again - Susan’s admitted,  done some pre-op prep, and assuming the organ is viable she’ll be in surgery in late morning or early afternoon. She’s hopefully  asleep. Going to catch a few Zs myself, back at the hospital in five hours.
