Update

I know several of you are aware of the grave situation that my husbands ex-wife Kay is facing. Three weeks ago she suffered a heart attack. After surviving a quadruple bypass, she was in a room and looking well. The night before she was to come home, she flat-lined. This was to happen a few more times before the decision was made to Life Flight her to St. Luke's Hospital in Houston. Our Brooke is with her, along with her step-father and grandparents.
I spoke with Brooke this afternoon and she updated me on the situation. They have started the approval process for a heart transplant. The powers that be meet on Tuesday, and as I understand it, will make the final decision on whether she will be a candidate. If approved she will be on the A1 list. (Most Critical). Kay passed the "absolutely not" hurdle. The next level of disqualifiers is a less black and white, a little more grey. This includes age, insulin dependent diabetics, smokers, drinkers etc. So we wait...
Pray for Kay, and that God will have complete control of things. Pray for Brooke as she goes through this heart wrenching stretch of life.
