More Exciting news

So the story goes..   Charlie and Lisa were on the way to pick Madison up at school.  Ok, ok.... 

The call did actually come in while Madsie was at School.  Charlie and Lisa rushed like chicken's with their heads cut off to the school to pick Madison up.  When they got there school had just got out.  And just like you'd expect, they couldn't find Madison anywhere.  Finally the school had to announce over the PA system, "will Madison Kitz please come to the office."  To say Madison was excited was an understatment.  The entire trip to Stanford she kept saying faster, faster.

Now they are at Stanford and going through the normal  Admission routine.  

To make a long story shorter: (Bullet Chart ala Vince Gallagher)
1) She has been started on antirejection drugs in preparation for the surgery.
2) She has also been placed on some type of Steroid.
3) when I talked to the family around 7:15 she was in bed haveing her blood drawn
4) having to have your blood drawn at 8 isn't a happy thing.
5) initially the surgery was scheduled for 8:30PM, then it was bumped to 9:30PM.  As of now the
plan is to begin the transplant procedure at 12.

On the downside, Madison's Grandmother got a speeding ticket for driving 80 in a 65 as she rushed to Stanford, and no, the Officer didn't let her off with a warning.
