Hello all,
This is Gracie Grote (the daughter of Trish Grote) and I thought you would just like to hear the story...
Well, first of all, my mom was headed to a jewlery party in Elm Creek. She had just left the garage when she drove back up and came in the house with this astonished and surprised look on her face. And I knew. I said 'UNMC??!!!!' and she nodded franticly. So I jumped on the 4-wheeler and floored it down to the cornfield to get Peyton (my brother) because he was setting up a trail camera. I was hauling butt yelling 'Peyton! Peyton! PEYTON! Mom just got called in! Let's go!!!!!!!!'. he said 'WHAT?! Oh my gosh! Move over and let me drive!' and when we got to the house mom said to pack a bag AND QUICK! But Peyton didn't want to come quite yet because he didn't want to see my mom in that condition and he said he had to take care of the animals and stuff so he is staying with some neighbors. Me, Mom, Grandma Jan, and Aunt Tonya got in the car, dropped off jewlery of at a woman's house, and we high tailed it to Omaha arriving at 8:45pm while Kelli (my moms UNMC friend) arrived at 8:00pm already giving us crap about being forty-five minutes after her. (wink wink) I guess she is just fast. So we got all of the tesing and stuff over with and went to a room where there was more testing and waiting for a positive sight of the liver. And when that happened, it was 11:15pm to 11:30pm when they got done doing the biopsy to the liver, they came in and said quote: "It's a go." So of course we had to say our good-byes and let her go, which was SOOOOOOOOOOO HARD, as you might know. So we got progress phone calls every hour, hour and a half and they were always good reports. And then the australian docter came and said she did great, and found some strange things in the liver but got it out. So as of right now mom is in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and we are waiting to see her. Thenk you for all of your wonderful thoughts and prayers. We will keep praying, and hope everything else goes well.
As of 15 hours ago the journey begins.

Wow! What a miracle. I was intrigued this morning when I started to read my emails this morning and saw on the subject line: liver transplant. I opened it up so fast, my heart was fluttering.
