    I'm sorry I have not posted, it's only because I have no idea what to say. I have two kids and can't even begin to imaging what you and your family are going through. Rest assured that you are all in my thoughts and of course I only wish a very positive outcome for all of you.

    Somebody should try to reach out to the Biebs. You never know with him. I would have except I don't have twitter or Facebook or I would have. We don't know unless we try.

    I actually do have an update, she is finally on the donor list as of today, not sure why it had to take so long, test after test...

    She is in a very unique situation with her blood type, and size where she has a larger pool to get a heart than most, they told us to be ready, we will have a 4 hour window to get her to the hospital when they call, won't be a problem as it only takes about 40 minutes to get there in rush hour traffic..

    The surgery will last about 8-9 hours, so now the waiting game, and anxiety is high..

    I'm just going to stay busy, keep a bag at work with a change of clothes, and a pillow just in case...

    I can't imagine what you are going through... we spent 3 months In The NICU with our first - he was born at 27 weeks, 1lb 6oz. He's now 17, and 6'3" 200lbs. That 3 months in the NICU, basically given a 50/50 chance, was heart wrenching. i truly hope things work out quickly for you and your family, and you can get past this and get back on with life.

    LA traffic..... That is something I would only wish on Lightman.

    Keep your spirits up as I know things will be better for everyone soon. Maybe throw a spring break for her in the back yard and invite the whole family and even the neighbors.
