And we wait.....again.

I am heartbroken to post this but this was the fastest way to get word out to everyone.  The transplant is off for now.  I honestly don't know exactly what happened but apparently someone in the chain pulled out at the last minute.  I think it was the person who was matched with David.  So the chain is broken a day before we were to check into the hospital.  We were so close....but it is now not happening. 

I guess OSU is having an emergency meeting to try to repair the chain but for now it is a no-go. 

How do we wrap our head and our hearts around this?  I have no clue.  I know we serve a mighty God and I know He has the perfect plan in mind.  But our human brains can't understand WHY........ 

I can't thank our prayer partners enough....all of you!  You have been our support, uplifting us in prayer this whole time.  I am blown away by how many are praying but God has said.....WAIT. 

Please continue to pray.  This is emotionally draining for David, myself, and Karen (David's donor) and her family.  It is impacting our family and really hitting us in a deep spot.

I don't understand....but God is bigger than my mind. 

Please pray for David...I can't imagine having new life dangling before you and then it is taken away.  Please pray for Karen.....She has mentally prepared herself and her family for this and now it is being put on hold. 
Please pray for the 26 others that are getting this same news a day before going into the hospital for their part in the transplant. 

I honestly don't know what to write. 

To all of those who have given us gifts and such please know we will hold dear to them and WE WILL USE THEM ONE DAY.   Just not tomorrow. 

I will hopefully update again soon but for now .......We continue to wait. 
I don't really have any more words to share. 

Thank you friends...these next few days are going to be HARD! 

Love,
Alice and David
