MERRY XMAS TO YOU ALSO, I just got a phone call that made this the BEST Xmas in my life.
Xmas eve at 9 PM my daughter got the call to come to Massachusetts if she had no way to get there they could send a medic evacuee helicopter to her front door.
They had a liver ready to transplant into her. MY BABY FIRST BORN WAS GOING TO LIVE.
I just may have a stroke over the happiness , relief of anxiety I have had to face for 10 years, my daughter has 4 children and 8 grand kids, ------I give credit to her Polish half that made her a strong woman.
She is as I write is in the operating room a 10 hour procedure and will as I know survive the operation be a few weeks in some new kind of therapy and hospice.
We the family will wait a week or so to visit her, we want her clear headed and understanding of who we are and why we are there.
What a Christmas this is for us, for us who love her, A true Christmas Miracle for my family.
The reason I write to you of this turn of events is that I am so excited I want to run into the streets and yell, that my baby will live and the Damocles's sword over my head is gone.

What a fantastic Christmas for you and your family; I think this prayer probably coming from your entire family says it all.
"Time of Celebration
Lord, we come to you so often in need. I just want to take this quiet moment to say a special word about the good things, about the joy you have brought to our family. If I don't stop to say it often enough, please forgive me and know that I say it now with all my heart. Thank you. Amen."

Strange family we have, finally after not sleeping last night, mother called to say my daughter made it off the table and is in ICU in Worcester Mass She had called around as did I to find what the Hell was going on.
My son in law has so far only called one family member with any news and as his wife's mother I am ripped to the tits and else where that he never has called me to tell me when my daughter was in the hospital.
I had to get the news from another family member. Really strange Dude,
We are, my daughter and I not estranged, we spoke on the phone a couple times a week, she could not visit me due to lugging about the 0'2 bottles and as I still cannot drive we had to keep in touch via phone.
Now the wait begins to see if she accepts or rejects the transplant. Thank heavens she is on husbands insurance from his work, I cannot imagine what the cost would be were she on Obama Care.
Going to be a lot of sleepless nights for me until I can get down to see her and make sure she is still alive.
I keep telling myself not to panic, to stay calm and take just one step at time. She is in the hands of God now, nothing I can do to change anything, I can pray for her but if God decides to call her home I have to except it.
But all said and done it was a Xmas miracle for her family, on Christmas Eve to get the call and God bless the person and family of them that donated their Liver. So important to all to receive a gift from a stranger
that passed on of life for another.
More then organ transplants, The skin for burn victims, the eyes for the blind, bones, I had a bone transplant in my leg years ago from a donor that allowed me to walk and work another 15 years.
Yes I am rambling as I sit by the phone Waiting for some kind of call, Mothers do this.
