It's Nicole again. Good news everyone.. it seems that all of your prayers have paid off. There's another heart, and it's already been tested and approved by the doctors. It's not from a high-risk donor, so that's good also. John's ready for surgery now, they're just waiting for the heart to arrive. The surgery itself should take around 7 hours. I'll try to post again as soon as I hear word that he's out. This is coming at a great time because John didn't have a very good night last night.

Thanks again to everyone for sticking with the fight!

"He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary."

Isaiah 40:29-31
