    For those of you that have been following Annette her husband has been waiting for a heart transplant. Here is what has happened as of today:

    I will be staying the night at the hospital :( elmers numbers are high. I'm waiting for more info :/

    Later today:

    Elmers pressures were as high as they were in January when the first did the transplant evaluation & they were bale to get them down. The Dr has managed to bring them down a little again but he will remain in ICU with a IV drip to keep the pressures down as low as possible.

    He has the wires in his neck again going into the heart to monitor the pressures. He is pretty sick. They said that if they had tried to transant him with his numbers like this it wouldn't have worked.

    What his Dr wants to do is list him all the way up as a status 1A right now which is the sickest of sick & the top of the list everywhere not just at UCSF. But they can't bump him up w/out getting his pressures down. They are coming down with the meds but they will have to keep it down for a few days. Looks like we are going to be here for a long time.

    We didn't even know it was this bad. That is the scary part! God knew & that's why the other 3 hearts weren't good he would have died if they put them in!

    Please keep Annette and Elmer in your thoughts and prayers! Elmer really needs those numbers to come down so he can have his transplant.

    Hang in there Annette! God is good!
