Update Two: 6 pm
We just received our second call from the OR. The first was an hour and a half ago.
First call, Emily's left lung had been removed and the donor lung placed. Second call they are stitching in the new right lung. 1-2 more hours. The nurse said she was stable and doing well. Emily is tough. I could barely hear the nurse because the music was so loud in the surgery theatre, Emily had evidently made some requests. The lead surgeon will visit us afterwards. I will mail again as soon as possible but it could be a bit, as we will go to the ICU as soon as we can. Keep up the powerful prayers and thoughts. The waiting room we are in is usually packed but today is a holiday and no regular surgery. There are three families in here, all have a family member receiving organs form the same donor. Lungs, heart and the third I am not sure.It is awesome and humbling to think about. Mails are great I will read them to Emily in the days ahead.
