It's here... FINALLY!

My mom's liver came in yesterday. To those of you who have already heard this story, I apologize, but I am going to share it again here.

So yesterday my mom got a phone call from the nurse letting her know that a liver had come in, but the person they were getting it from was large, therefore, the liver would probably be too big for my mom. It just so happened that my mom's ward was holding a special fast for her yesterday.

Later in the afternoon (after the fast) my mom got another phone call from the nurse. This time the nurse said, well, now that we have a visual of this liver, it looks like it will fit you after all.

I know this is no coincidence. I know the Lord had His hand in this miracle. I am so grateful for the power of fasting and prayer. I am grateful for the faith and the love of these people who thought to hold this fast for my mom. They will never know how much it means to me and my family... but their faith may have saved her life.

The operation went well, she is in recovery now. I start working nights on the very same floor she will be recovering at this Friday. How perfect is that? I'm not sure that she can have visitors, (she will be quaranteened for 100 days) but at least I will get to see her at the hospital if nobody else can. At least my mom will have me. ***Just a side note... she won't be at the hospital for 100 days, just a couple weeks; she will be quaranteened at home for that period of time. Kind of sad for the kids at Christmastime, but it's the best Christmas gift I could possibly think of!***

Thank you to all for your love and your prayers. I know it is through your faith, as well as the faith of others that has made this miracle happen. Know that I love you.
