Thanks. I'm sitting in my room. The nurse called and told my they had the operating room set for 6pm, and they would come and get me at 5pm. Thanks again Ron

When we got 'the call', Robert said the same thing that you did in your first comment - that it was all going too fast. I was definitely feeling the same way. We wait so long for something and then all of a sudden *BAM*....it's HERE - and we just want everything to slow down a bit! I remember when he got off the phone with our coordinator, he looked right at me and said, "I don't want to do this." He seemed so serious, so I had him sit quietly for a few minutes and told him to just b..r..e..a..t..h..e. Well that lasted about 2 minutes and then our entire house went nutso-crazy! Still not sure how we made it to TGH - all I remember is stopping for gas.

Ok, well get on in there and get yourself a brand new liver! Like my Dad always told me before my surgeries...."It'll be over before you know it!" You're gonna do just fine. You and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

I'm late to the show...I wonder if his wife will post anything or if we have to wait a couple of days for him to make sense after the anesthesia...Mike was talking, but not making much sense for a bit.

I sure hope this one is smooth sailing...and you know me, I'm having myself a little "it's a miracle" cry...I do every time...since Pam and Ron.

Hugs,

Carol

Praying and excited for you!

Yeah Carol, I know what you mean! Another second chance at lifer - it's hard not to get a little teary-eyed. It's just such an emotional thing all the way around. Right now I'm thinking about his wife - sure hope she has someone there with her. Oh how I remember that wait.....excruciating!

I'm also hoping that maybe she'll stop by to let us know how Ron's doing.

OH happy day!!!

When the rooms stops spinning, you can watch a miracle unfold before your very eyes.

Notice the pink complexion and the urine color right away :)

Each day will be a small milestone along the way to a new life, bless you both.

Hugs,

Mae

I am in shock, retired!! SHOCK! You are posting to us already and this is really amazing stuff. My husband and I are both in tears. Be a good patient? How is your wife holding up? Thanks for thinking of us at this very special moment. Biggest hugs to you and your wife ;) themiz and her mister.

My wife in picking up my brother, his wife and my sister from Atlanta airport, they should be here in 10 minutes. Thanks again for all the prays. Less than 24 hours from the call. And am completely transplanted and texting my experiences. Love U-all Ron

This is amazing! I am really happy for you and your family! I am sure all your loved ones couldn't ask for a better Mothers Day. God Bless

Amazing! I am glad things went so smoothly. This is just more proof of the advances in medicine. What use to be a 12 hour operation can be done in 3 hours.

Obviously you seemed in descent health before hand just from the messages you posted, not saying you were not sick, just that I bet that has something to do with how well you handled the surgery.

Great news though, hopefully you will be able to go home quickly to.
