An Emotional Night

27th July 2011
 A day I will never forget, it started off positive, my baby neice was born today, it was nice to celebrate such happy news. Paul and I had our tea around five, we then had Mikey our son and his girlfriend Aimee visit us and we were all in high spirits. We offered them a lift home, as we were leaving Paul asked if I had my fone, which I did, as we got to Mikey's house my fone was ringing , I didn't realise the number and when I answered ,I knew straight away, the nurse asked for Paul, It was a strange, emotional and heartfelt feeling, we both burst into tears, the nurse was lovely and told us it was tentative that the transplant would go ahead, but to make our way to the Leeds. We got home and contacted our nearest and dearest, It was very emotional, we have been waiting for the call, but nothing can prepare you, mixed feelings spin around. I actually said a pray for the donor family, my heart goes out to them. Cameron, Mikey and Chantelle came to the hospital with us, this was a very personal and emotional  journey, We arrived at the hospital and waited in the television room. A short while later a doctor came to see us, He apologised to us and said that the transplant wouldn't go ahead as the donor 's liver wasn't suitable. I felt relieved and saddened at the same time, The past couple of hours were a roller coaster,we were told that this can happen when we had the liver assessment. It's another journey we have had with this horrible disease. we're going to stay optimistic. My heart goes out to the donors family, people like them make a huge difference to people like Paul.
