Donor Offer!

This afternoon we got "the call": a donor offer has been accepted for Job!!

We checked in tonight for labs and vitals and will be wheeling to the OR at 6am tomorrow morning. He will be anesthetized, which is a bit of a process, and then the dissection (chest opening) is scheduled to start at 8am, *if* the retrieval team confirms that the donor heart is viable.

We don't expect to get to see Job until about 5pm tomorrow but may receive updates throughout the day, which we will pass along.

I wrote this weeks ago but it has answers to many of the questions we have been asked about this process: http://frightfulsheart.blogspot.com/…/08/transplant-faq.html
