Tuesday 10:35 a.m

Rachel's transplant surgery was successful (Praise God) and we are currently waiting for them to bring her back up to the unit.  She went down around 2:00 a.m. and around 3:30 a.m., they called to let us know that the heart looked good and surgery was a go.  They got started around 4:00 a.m. and the last we heard, they had the heart in, it was beating, and they were waiting to take her off of the by-pass machine.  Haven't talked to the surgeon yet.
And, by the way, sleep is way overrated.  All of us have been up since yesterday morning and were up all night. Sleep?  Who needs it?
Please continue to pray as today and the next several days will be rather tough.
