We got the wonderful call on August 13, 2010 We have new parts!!! Waylon didn't want to go, because the birthday party was the next day. I talked him into it. We made the LOOONNGGG drive from middle-of-nowhere WV to Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh. We were admitted and then the wait began. We got to the hospital around 3:00 pm, and waited, and waited, and waited. Shortly after midnight, there was a knock on the door and in walked the nurses with a birthday banner and presents for Waylon's birthday. This group of girls are WONDERFUL. 
In the wee hours of the morning, we were told it was time, the harvest team had gotten the new intestines and they were great looking, so it was prep time for surgery. Blood work, x-rays and all of those things. We went to the pre-op holding room, and were waiting. I kissed my baby a hundred times and told him that I loved him, he just went to sleep LOL So when it was GO time, I watched them wheel my sweet son away, he was snoozing, and I was having a break down. So lucky that my mom and Aunt Jan were there to hold me up. :)
We went to the waiting room and WAITED. About 12 hours later they said he was out of surgery and in ICU so we could go there and wait. Got to that waiting room and waited another 3 hours. 15 hours since I had seen my baby and I was going crazy. Finally, I think the nurses felt sorry for me and let come back to him, even though they weren't completly set up. He looked - great! Minus all of the tubes going in and out of him. What a difference from when he was in ICU after his malrotation.
This is just the first day. . . I have many more to tell. But Mommy duty is calling me.
