Praise God, He is good!!

So last night at around 9:15pm Laureen called Peter and I to let us know that Carl had called her to tell her that they found a heart for him. WOW!!! Right? So yeah that is where Peter, Laureen, Mindy, Scott, Pastor John and I were till about 2:00pm today. Peter and I got to Jefferson hospital at around 12 midnight. At that time we got to see Carl till around 2:30am at which time they rolled him away to get prepped for Surgery. He didn't actually go into surgery till about 6:30am, before that they were checking the new heart to make sure it was usable, and Praise God it was. So needless to say it was a really long night for all of us. We tried to "sleep", but the floor in the waiting room of a busy hospital is anything but relaxing, we probably got 2hrs of sleep all night. The surgery went great though, and at around 11:30 am everyone got to go in and see Carl. He's not awake at this moment, but it was nice to see that he is doing great (I have to confess I didn't go in, I knew I would cry). For the full unabridged story of the wonderful news you can go to Carl's website. So it was great news last night, but we are not out of the woods yet. There is still risk of infection, rejection and other things, so we ask that you continue to pray.

On another not so happy note, about 2 min. after we heard about the heart Peter saw he had a voicemail from his doctor. Peter had been feeling bad for about one week, so finally he went to the doctor on Mon. at which time he was sent for blood test, x-rays, and all sorts of other things. So back to the point, Peter got this voicemail, his doctor called to let him know he has Mononucleosis and Hepatitis, due to the mono. Yeah, so he's really not feeling well, and I have to take care of him :) He has had mono before which is weird that he has it again, because they say that once you get it once you're not suppose to get it again, but I guess he's weird:) So anyways if you can pray with us for thatas wellit would be great, pray that Peter heals soon, and that Lucas and I don't get sick too. Well have a great night.
