Well, I was suposed to find out yesterday if my brother got approved, but considering it was Memorial day i ddnt figure i would hear anything. They instead had their weekly meeting today, but both surgeons were in surgery so i wont find out until next week.

Well think of it as 6 days, minus the weekend, so it's really only 4 days to waiting for a phone call using business day sense.

Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat. You can make it.
And in my experience, transplant coordinators always call at random times. Never when you expect it.

not really, lol... i told my boss and she feels the same way lol. oh well, have actually been able to function, but i still think it stinks that i have to wait another week... so counting down to tuesday, they told my brother they would call him tues but im gonna see if he will call them mon afternoon, hopefully after their meeting. my coworker casey, called and left them a message about getting tested mon, but considering it was memorial day nobody wzas there, so i told him to call again and to keep on them about it.
