The doctor called back and said that it was a match and we needed to get to California as soon as possible. We woke up all the kids first and told them the great news and that they needed to get packing. The last person we told was Gage, as we knew his response was not going to be the same as Lindsey's was. He has been really scared and petrified of his transplant to the point where he was having bad dreams where he didn't make it out of surgery. His reaction was what we expected, he cried and didn't want to leave. We have a big day ahead of us of keeping him busy to keep his mind off of things.
The initial time for surgery is 3 PM today. It always changed however. In the meantime, Jason is driving with Sierra, Megan and Nori (Sierra's friend) and I flew here with Lindsey, Hunter and Gage. There will be some haircutting of the boys going on to help pass time. Stay tuned for updates. 😊💓💓

I cried when I saw this post. I've been checking your blog all the time waiting for the good news. I'm so happy for you that the day is finally here for Gage and so appreciative that there are families that make the decision to donate organs. I'll be keeping your family, and the donor family, in my thoughts. You will do great Gage!
I don't know you, but my prayers are with you. About 2 1/2 years ago I sat in the hospital in Salt Lake waiting for my sons liver transplant. The procedure took about 15 hours. It was a long wait. Praying that things go well for Gage! And I'm watching your blog for updates.
Prayers for Gage and your sweet family!

Sending prayers for gage, family, doctors and the donor family. I'm praying for peace for gage and his donor family. So excited to finally hear the news that a heart is finally available and it's his turn.
You & your courageous family are in our thoughts & prayers. When I told my son, Malachi, (one of your school mates) the news, he said, "My wish has come true! I miss that guy!" We can't wait to read the next post. Waiting with high hopes...♡ The Robles Family
Very good news! I pray that Gage will have peace and a calm mind throughout the process.
