TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!
This is Stephanie posting for Suzie and I am shaking while I type, but Suzie just called me... and today is the day. They have a heart for Lindsay and the doctor said they don't think it could be more of a perfect match. Of course Suzie was in Kalamazoo when they called, so JR is on his way home from work and they are getting ready and then on their way back to A2 (police escort please!!).
Please pray today for the doctors and for Lindsay as she prepares for surgery, please pray for Suzie and JR as they wait patiently for the day to go as God has planned... here is the prayer that Bob and I pray every day before his surgeries, if you are speechless like I am right now, here's a prayer to say the rest of the day:
Dear Lord,
Please be with the Doctors today as they preform their surgery on Lindsay, Keep their minds sharp and their hands steady as they do your will. Please be with Lindsay and her family and reassure them that they are well taken care of and in good hands. Please be with the anesthesiologists and the OR staff... keep them ready to assist in whatever the Doctors might need. Please be with the nurses taking care of Lindsay before and after the surgery, may they be alert to any problems that might arise so that she may recover safely and swiftly and return home (to us!!) soon! Thank you Lord for this family and for all that you do for all of us. We ask these things in Jesus' name.
AMEN!

How amazing and wonderful. When is the surgery scheduled for?
To Lindsay: You amazing, beautiful gift from God, you go into surgery a half and come out a whole. You never quit fighting. You've got "Team Lindsay" praying with all their hearts for you to stay strong during and after surgery. I can't wait to read the blogs about you growing older and your little healthy heart. I am praying for you. BELIEVE

Thank you dear Lord, for this answer to our prayers. I am late to this posting party as I was on the phone with Grandma Linda and then our newspaper. But I just wanted to suggest, after reading Steph's beautiful prayer, that maybe we can all pray that prayer over and over tonight...I like the feeling that God will be hearing the same thing from all of us all night long! Thank-you Steph...
Love, Elaine

I know your anxiety...we had a nephew born 19 years ago with the same defect. Jarrod endured many heart operations and long stays at Motts hospital. He was never considered for a transplant due to other anomalies. It's an emotional road...you are in my thoughts and prayers today. May your baby girl Lindsay experience new life with her new heart!
This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!.....May His grace and peace comfort the donor family.
So, pretty amazing that we got to share the moment with you Suzie. You getting the call when you were with us, was amazing!!! Praying, Praying, Praying. We love you all and can't wait for updates!
Take care!
Jessica and the girls at UT&T
