About 72 hours since the New Heart!

It is just amazing to realize that Richard got his new heart about three days ago! I went in to see him at the 2 PM visit and got him to open his eyes and look at me. I said Richard, you got a new heart, it is doing great and your doing great. He looked at me with a look of confusion and question and said "Did I get a new heart?". I assured him that he did, he gave me a great big smile and then we cried together for joy.
Of course he is still going in and out of sleep. We were able to stay with him until 6:45, so we were able to talk to him in between naps. I fed him his food (jello and broth) and around 6:30 PM he asked me again if he really did get a new heart, this time my mother helped to assure him. God has truly blessed us and everything has happen much faster than we could ever anticipated. Sometimes it is just hard to comprehend it all.
Once again thanks for your continued prayers and thoughts.
God bless and kiss you loved ones,

  3. Looks like someone went to bed early last night...so excited about all that is going on and being able to "stay" with Richard! Looked for more info on Richard this morning Sat. 8th of May and nothing. I KNOW that no news is good news at this point in time. We continue to Thank God and give Him the credit!
