It's here.

My hands were shaking, palms were sweating, Heartrate increasing...paper cut. Dammit. I opened it too fast. 

The letter. The transplant letter we've been waiting on. Eli's official listing status. He is considered 1A! This is by far the best news in quite some time. If we've gotten to this point in transplant, this is by far the best place to be. Eli has to remain stable and in good health to keep him in this status. Any infection, stroke, neurological deficit could make hmm inactive and he would go straight to the bottom. This is very important. We need all hands on deck to keep Eli well! 

A phone call will be next. That's all we need. A phone call, telling us they have a heart. So we pray. We pray for that family and for safe travels with the new heart. Wherever it may come from. 

So here we go. The transplant journey has officially begun. Are you ready!?
