We have now discovered a new way of doing this - standby. Flying standby means you go to the airport and wait for a seat on a particular flight, hoping someone won't show. Standby for Duke Medical means staying home by the phone until they call. That's where we were from 8am until 5:30pm Tuesday. And that's after being at Duke all night Sunday night. They called to tell us they had a possibility of a donor in Tennessee and in state hospitals there had first choice for the organs. Of course we jumped every time the phone rang & for some reason it rang alot yesterday. After waiting for their decisions all day, Duke called us back to say they didn't accept the organs after the Tennessee hospitals turned them down. At least we did this from home this time since they weren't going to work anyway. No complaints from us no matter how they handle it. And please pray for families losing loved ones this time of year especially.
Until next time.....
Barbara
Oh Barbara... I've just caught up on what's happening with you guys, I know this is the most tedious of ways to live! not from experience, of course, but can imagine... I'm praying that the call comes soon and it's the "right" one, and of course, for the families who are losing loved ones!
