Linda - thank you for that! I love Proverbs :o)
Ok I thought I would update everyone on what is going on...we are still here at the hospital & no heart yet. Elmer is starting to get a little disheartend & antsy right now from having to sit in bed with tubes & wires sticking out everywhere. I know we are in the home stretch right now & am trying to keep as positive as possible for him. It is very tiring sitting here all day just waiting :( I would ask that everyone please continue to keep us in your prayers as we sit here & wait. I know I haven't even posted on Facebook today but I will get to it in just a little while. I'm having trouble trying not to snack while I am just sitting here. But I have water, apples, pork rinds (yes I'm in P3 lol) & pistachios plus some sugar free candy. I'm trying to use as much modification as possible. I'm getting ready to work on homework, so I hope that helps!
Once again we would like to thank all of you for your continued love & prayers & your financial support through our Facebook page it as all made a remarkable difference for us!!!
Love

You can borrow, have, my clown outfit any day doll. You'll have to stuff the clown shoes though. My size is 11 to 12 1/2. Not sure can fit in those clod hoppers. Squirty flower if good for hydration. Honky horn.....good nurse caller....if they don't hit you with a bed pan. By the way, my fellow ADHD, shiny friend......Bed pans are NOT good mirrors....especially something in them.
loves and kisses...L -
LOL awww man you mean I can't play with the shiney bed pan :( boo your no fun LOL glad to see the plague hasn't affected your sense of humor. I need that right now! It has been a looooooooooooooooong day around here. But for the past several hours a strange sense of peace has come over me! It is really weird. I was outside getting some air & it just hit me all of a sudden & it has stayed with me ever since!!!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to update everyone really quick. Still no heart :(
They also can not seem to be able to stabilize his pressures. They get them down & then they go right back up. The doctor also told us last night that his heart is just sitting there like a ball. He was explaining to us that most peoples hearts can stretch to pump out some of the fluid that is causing the pressure to build up, but that Elmer's has no stretch at all. It is stiff & can not pump out any fluid anymore what-so-ever. I am so thankful that he happened to have that right heart cath scheduled. If it had not been caught, his heart could have exploded. This was very sombering news for us since we didn't even realize things had gotten that bad. It is scary to say the least. When our nurse was leaving last night she said she wouldn't be back for a few days & that by the times she got back he would have a new heart. She said I know its sad but the reality is that we see a lot more transplants during holiday weeks. I HATE thinking that way, it just turns my stomach. I know God already has everything planned, but it doesn't make it any easier knowing this is what it takes to get my husband better. When I think about him getting a heart, I can't help but think of the person & their family that will be giving us this awesome gift. Please continue to keep up in your prayers we really need it as the days drag on! Also, PLEASE pray!! I lost my ATM card & can't find it anywhere. All the money I have in the world is on that card right now, its not much but it will help me get through another day or to before I have to start coming up with ways to stay here!!!
Once again we thank all of you for your love & prayers right now! As soon as we have some news I will update again!
Love & thanks

That is hard to think of Annette, but best to stay focused on what a gift these people are giving. God has plans for them too, and life is just a transition phase anyway as we are all eternal.
That's terrible news you lost your ATM card! Can you call and get an emergency replacement? -
Thanks Elaine for the encouragement :o) I'm trying to stay focused on the gift! I did find the card thank God!! It had fallen in a small slot under the driver seat, since it was dark last night & this morning I couldn't see it, but when it got light out I went back out & there it was :o) WOO HOO now I can eat LOL
Doctors came in & said the numbers are back down & they are trying to keep them that way so they can accept a heart if it comes in! I'm in praying mode today :o) -
So how often do hearts come in? Is that kind of regular? Do they fly them in from other parts of the country or does it have to be local? I have to admit, it is an interesting thing to wait for but i'm sure there are lots of people in the same boat. It's something i have never thought of before. You are opening my eyes to a whole new world (except for that Will Smith movie -- my only other exposure).
It's a pity more people don't become organ donors. I'm realizing they really need to publicize that more. What an incredible gift to give someone. Is it possible for family members to consent to organ donation after the death of a loved one, even though the person had not signed on for it? -
One of the frustrations on organ donation is they have some - sorry, but this is how I feel - amazingly stupid and short-sighted guidelines for it. Much like blood donation.
I have a friend, he's in great health, he does no drugs, he exercises regularly, he is the picture of health. He's been in a stable relationship for nearly 20 years. He can't donate blood or be an organ donor, because he's gay.
I have a sister, she's a mess. She's an alcoholic, she's a drug addict, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to hear that she'd overdosed or had a heart attack because of the strain she's put on her body for the last 30 years. She's had entirely too many children, fathered by entirely too many men. She donates blood all the time.
Now, if you asked me which blood or organ I would rather get, my friend's or my sister's, no hesitation there at all. I'd much rather get my friend's. But it isn't a choice, because he's not allowed. And that's just stupid. -

Beestly, the next of kin have last rights over the donation of organs, whether the license is signed or not. Again, it is very important that you make your wishes known while you are still alive and can talk about it. If you are gathering with family for Thanksgiving, it would be a good time to discuss the matter. Then there are many witnesses to your wishes. Plus, it will hopefully get everyone thinking about what a wonderful gift they can give. Remember to say if you want just heart, lungs, kidney, corneas, and liver only. It is my understanding that if you say all useable, they will have little left for open casket. Again, I am not trying to be morbid, but this is part of life. -
I believe even if you donate all useable, you can still have an open casket. It's not as grusome as you think.:))
