This process has been such a rollercoaster but praise be to Jesus because WE FOUND A MATCH!!!
I have two WTFs for today's post. Since I want to end up on a good note, let's start with the first one and that should catch you up to where we are now.
If you need catching up, here is the original post:
So... earlier this month we found a match! We were very excited. But when it came time to schedule the retrieval, DOUCHEBAG STARTED DODGING CALLS!!!
Why go through ALL THE STEPS and then just decide, "Nah. I don't think saving someone's life is worth it."
And then to not even tell someone?! You don't have the decency to let the hospital know, "In case you haven't noticed, no I won't be a donor."
And yes I realize something could have happened that was innocent enough... but if something did happen that was innocent enough, THEY WOULDN'T BE DODGING CALLS!
Unless they are dead, which I do not hope is the case. Live on, douchebag. Live on.
So we were back and square one and a little bummed. That put us behind what we were expecting the schedule to be.
And then YESTERDAY HAPPENED!
We had ANOTHER match and this one SCHEDULED THE RETRIEVAL!!!!
Pat is now scheduled to begin the process of the transplant on April 1!
That's right! We have our hero!
Does that mean it is all sunshines and roses after this?
No.
But it gives us HOPE!
Hope in a situation like this is such a relief!
To each of you that helped us with the giveaway, I cannot express my gratitude! There are no words.
You have each sincerely touched my heart.
And with that, here are the winners!
