Update...



Hour 13 of surgery. Harm has lost a lot of blood, so the doctors have called in back up. The renal doctors are now going to go into the OR and drain some fluid through dialysis and replace it with blood products. After which they will finish attaching her liver. Amy (transplant coordinator) came in and said it will probably be 4-6 more hours.

Brandon and I have been taking turns using our parent room in the PICU getting sleep. Brandon took the first 5 hours and I was able to take the last 4, now I am having a hard time staying awake. I had a dream about going to Harmonee's little donors funeral, also one about Harm and her donor switching spots and us being the ones planning the funeral, writing an obituary and starting the mourning process for our own little baby instead of waiting for surgery to end wondering who her donor might be. Either way, I am eternally grateful!
