My mother just got a call from a hospital in Florida for a kidney transplant. [Massive shock, she'd thought she'd dropped off their list as we're ... not in Florida.]
Spent the last half hour or so freaking out getting stuff packed for my folks so my brother can take them down. The flight leaves at 7 am and he'll be here in minutes to take them to the airport. (He had the best "saved vacation days" total of the three of us siblings.)
Here's hoping things go well.
