" Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart....."
We still feel a little like we are in the middle of made-for-TV movie special, you know, all melo-dramatic, bad actors, phony plotline etc...totally low-budget and unbelievable. "he's dying, no wait, dr's on the phone, they've located donor lungs, they're gonna do the surgery"!!!!
Except it's not a movie, and it is happening. Surgery started a 8:30 appox. It takes a long time to remove very sick CF lungs, and the transplant surgeon who also put him on the heart/lung bypass machine last nite did just that a few hours ago...then the new lungs...get this...from a 20 yr old male donor, made the scene. These are bright pink (I'm assuming ) un-sick, un-CF lungs. Custom made to order! Hallelujah!
Does it get any better.....why yes, it does. Donovan's double lung transplant in #386 for the hospital, but they have only transplanted from a heart-lung machine 4 times at this hospital. It is risky. But we are doing it, and will update you as we can.
Pray for continuing dr. wisdom, for healing, for no complicatons, for no rejection, for peace for us all....
Dancing in delight, (mostly)

beth our bible study meets tonight. We will be praying over donovan and you whole family. I just want to comment on how miraculous this appears to me as I know how unlikely it is to to be transplanted from heart lung bypass. Jerry
Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it."
I was just praying with Dee Green just now and she shared this scripture with me. I believe it with all my heart, and I claim it for you Donovan.
You are wrapped in a blanket of prayer.
