Most of you that have known us for any time know about "Uncle" Jay and "Aunt" Emily. Jason and Eric worked at Chick-fil-A together and did that crazy bachelor pad thing during their college years. I wonder if they ever were able to rent that apartment after those boys left? Anyway, Ansley's middle name was Jaye after Jason - that should tell you his importance in Eric's life. Jason married Emily the week before Ansley passed away. They left their honeymoon early to be with us in our time of need. I'll never forget their "charge" of finding Grant clothes to wear to the funeral. I still giggle at the remembrance of Jason talking about "sacking" Grant up in a pair of pants trying to figure out what size a 3 year old wore! Anyway, Jason's wife, Emily, has struggled with CF for years. She's been on the lung transplant list for a year now. Last night, they got their 5th call about a prospective set of lungs.
At 7:30ish CST this morning, Emily was prepped for lung transplant surgery. As of 10:00 pm CST, Emily has a new pair of lungs! Please continue to pray with us for Emily, her family, and all of her friends that are with her. Eric is in Birmingham with Jason, as well. The next few days will be very critical. She's doing well and actually joking with the nursing staff. Although she's on a respirator, they're weaning her off and will possibly have her completely off by tomorrow. You can see Emily's journey through her own blog spot listed in my links.
