We are here. Janene has been very poised. If she is nervous it is hard to see it. She said that she is nervous. I am very thankful for her sacrifice. We got to the hospital about 7:20 this morning. We checked Janene and Lydia in as soon as possible. Janene went in about 9:00 am. That was when I finally broke down. I have had plenty of intermittent tears, but that was finally the real thing. Lydia was restless until she went in at about 11:30. She could tell something was up and she wanted a drink of water. Thank goodness for the wagons that the patients could ride in. When they came to get Lydia that meant that Janene's liver passed the visual inspection. Everything was then a go.
They have been coming out regularly to tell us that the process is going well. They have been working on getting Janene's piece of liver out for a while. They guess that it will be about 3 pm before she is all done. Lydia will be finished up later this night. We are not sure when they will be done with her.
My mom and Janene's parents are her at the hospital. Janene's brothers and sisters and spouses will be coming when they can today. It is nice to not be the only one here.
Lizzie, James, and London came and visited us today. It was a very welcome visit. They brought us a bunch of food and gave us a lot of comforting advise and hope for the future. It was so nice to see London's progress and see that Lydia can be a regular child again.
I will update more later. Thank you all for the many thoughts and prayers. We have heard from many of you and we are very thankful for everyone that is out there that are thinking of us.
