It will have to be the 4th time

Well another dry run.   

The circumstances for today were a bit different from the past.  The donor was a younger person who was on life-support but still had brain function.  In most cases the donor has no brain function and once taken off life support they can harvest the organs.  In this case, once the donor was taken off life support they needed to wait for the patient to die. The patient has not past and the doctors are concerned that the lungs will go through too much stress and thus call it off.

We will go home this evening and wait again for the phone to ring.

Thank you all for the support.  You are all amazing!!!

Love the Zs

3rd Time may be a charm

Hello all. As we came home from a sunny baseball practice we arrived to Laura on the phone with UCSF. Unlike past visits this was super stat and we were told to come to the hospital ASAP.

10 minutes ago Laura went into surgery. There is still a chance that this ends up a dry run but we are now farther along than ever before.

Thank you all for the support thus far. We could not have made it with out you. I will continue to keep you all up to speed as we know more.
