Yet another call from Donor Connect

Yesterday afternoon we received a call from donor connect, they told us that Lee was on standby as a back up recipient for a liver.  Lee was not allowed to have anything to eat or drink after 6 P.M.  I asked Lee what he wanted to eat because it could be his last meal for a couple of days.  Lee decided to have Olive Garden, I ordered and talked Dilon into going to pick it up.  We all tried their new Lasagna Mia They were pretty good but not something we will all order often they were a little gooey
on the inside.
       

We received a call around the same time instructing us that Lee needed to be in the hospital lobby waiting for further instructions at midnight. So after supper we both tried to take a nap but with nerves running high neither one of us had much success.  Lee was super anxious so he was pushing me to leave so we left the house at 10:30 to take our drive to Murray.  We arrived and waited about 12:30 we received news that the primary recipient will be going to surgery for the liver, but the surgeon wanted us to wait 2-4 hours in the lobby. Lee was really upset this was call number 7 from donor connect. 

Lee just wanted to be up and moving his anxiety was getting the best of him.  After a while we decided to head out to the car and see if we could get a little nap while waiting on the next phone call.  With every update they wanted us to stay another hour. Finally at 4 A.M they said we could go home. Lee was starving so we went over to Ihop for breakfast then headed home.  After we arrived home we went to bed and slept for a little while.  I had to get up early for an eye appointment maybe I will get my new glasses soon.  We will just continue to wait for a phone call from donor connect maybe the next one will be the one.
