Activation Pending.......

We have received 2 calls today saying they are trying to get everything up to date and in order so they can activate Alan next week. We just heard the term activate when we got here this week. It means he will be put in the system and the search and wait for his new lungs begins in earnest.

We both cried. It is very emotional. I can't put it into words. We said a prayer together to thank God, and ask that he continue to be with us. We definitely know it has been his hand at work since this process began. He has not shut a single door, but thrown them wide open, and we are walking through knowing God IS Indeed With Us.

The Social Worker called after I had taken Alan to the fitness center for his part time job as they put it (work out and lectures).
Matt, the Social Worker, asked what kind of support system we had. I told him a daughter, son-in-law, grandkids who are phenomenal and an unbelievable number of family and friends that are praying, staying in touch, encouraging us, and volunteering to come if we need you. All of you are priceless.

The Social Worker did also say that it is good to have people here during the surgery. We will be able to see Alan for a few moments at a time, but that for him to hear our voices and see our faces would be a real boost for him.

Hugs till next post, Judy
