This is Stratton posting for Eileen
I spoke with Steve via text message at 3:30 pm. The surgery has been scheduled for 9 pm tonight. It is going to be a long night. Apparently, the donor is a young male under the age of 20 in North Texas. He is clinically dead but on life support. He is being transported to Houston now. His lungs will be 'harvested' and 'grafted' into my Mom when her diseased lungs are removed. Please say a special prayer for this young man's soul. He and his family have given the ultimate gift to my Mom, a new lease on life. There is no way we can ever repay them for this very special gesture.
