TIME TO HURRY UP AND WAIT

This week has been full of anticipation.  We have been patiently waiting to hear if I am listed.  We also have been anxiously waiting to make sure an elevated blood draw done at my last visit was not a problem.  Today, we got news that everything looks great and we are ready to move forward. 

Finally, we are ready for the next part of this beautiful hurry up and wait journey.  We got news today that our information has officially been submitted to UNOS and we should be listed very soon! 

Talk about exciting!  

It's also official that the next time we are back in Cleveland, it will be for the biggest surgery of my life.  Much bigger than any procedure or small surgery I've ever had. 

Next time, the hospital bed will be bigger than the one pictured below for IVF.  It truly will be the biggest deal of our lives and we can't wait!  Boy am I glad the nerves haven't set in...at least not yet.  

Love,

Amanda & John Gruendell

See you on the recovery side, Cleveland!
