Transplant!!!

Finally...Sammy went in a few minutes after midnight.  We were told that it is approx. a 14 hour surgery.  She handled the whole day with courage and laughter.  When we asked her what could we do for her, the answer was always "you can give me a back rub if you want"
We were told by the surgeons to go home and rest.  Sam will need our strength tomorrow.
lots of love,
Dolly and Chris
