Thatcher’s liver transplant is now scheduled for Tuesday March 22nd. We received a call from Pittsburgh Children’s Monday saying, based on Friday's clinic, they did not want Thatcher to lose anymore ground before surgery. This was the news we were hoping for because we don’t want to see him lose anymore ground either. However, the reality is setting in. I’m getting nervous and anxious. It’s hitting me that I’m about to leave Amelia for a long time as well. We can’t plan very far into the future, but we know the first two weeks Amelia will be at home with family. We’ll have to wait and see when it’s best for her to come up and visit.
I don’t even know where to begin to pack for 3 months away!

So glad you guys have a date now and can plan for the next step. I know you all must be feeling all kinds of different emotions right now. We are still here praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine the mixture of emotions you are experiencing - anxiety, excitement, worry, elation, joy, fear - from minute to minute. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean on Him and He will calm you. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy in the days to come. Soon, this will all be behind you, Thatcher will be on the road to recovery and you will be back in TN with your precious Amelia and all your loved ones. Until then, we are praying for a successful outcome, for health and strength for all of you, and for your family, too!
