Papa's Chopper

Oliver has this little toy helicopter at our house - we call it Papa's Chopper. 

I was sitting in the ICU waiting room yesterday talking with a pastor who was there to visit another patient - someone who was being taken off life support - so sad........

The pastor asked when my husband received his new liver,  and I told him Thursday at 5:00pm - he said Thursday afternoon he heard some doctors saying the liver was on it's way - then heard a chopper land - white coats were hurrying down the hallway - the LIVER IS HERE!

Funny thing - we heard that same chopper at 3:00pm and remarked - wouldn't that be something if it was Ron's new liver.

As you may know, Ron was a helicopter gunner in the Vietnam War - that's how he picked up HEP C - flying through Agent Orange everyday......how ironic.....his new liver arrived via chopper - bringing him a new life - a life that could very well have been taken.......if the new liver had never arrived.
