At 4:47 pm, Tuesday, Nov 9th, Trish received "the call". After some frantic packing, Jan, Tonya, Gracie and Trish arrived at UNMC at 8:45 pm. Kelli drove in from Sioux City (without a speeding ticket) and arrived at 8pm. Larry arrived at 9:30pm from McPherson, Kansas. Trish was admitted to her room and the testing began. All the nurses and staff are still trying to figure out how she ended up here! After a couple of excruciating attempts at an arterial line, she is relatively comfortable. The protocol states that once the liver is "in the house", it still has to be biopsied to make sure it is the perfect match. Basically UNMC wants to verify what shape the liver is in since it is coming from another hospital. We don't know if it is coming via chopper or fixed wing, but we now have verification at 12:10 am that the liver is here!
12:15 pm, it is OFFICIAL! With hugs and kisses we sent her off. She is in the best of hands and that gives us great comfort. Keep her in your prayers and we will update you as we know more.
