".... just ask if there's more that we can do.
Iff'n you haven't yet, but I figure you have already, let Shane, and Mrs. Labgrade and Mrs. Shane know that there are a whole lot of people praying for you all.
Family does that sorta thing."
Whew! That is plenty, guys 'n gals .....
Trying a new anti-rejection drug. Still does the wierd stuff. Echo 1/8 & another biopsy 1/9 - figers crossed. Likely hold Shane for at least another 4 days or so after a good report to make sure.
Plan is for the kids (3X @ 7-13 yrs) going home (The 'Springs) with The Wife (SM#2), 1/10 to try to get them asleep in their own beds & as back on an even keel as we can. They're not having much of that as they were to get to go w/Daddy.
Steel Magnolia #1 will stay with Shane.
& so it goes.
As much as this rollercoaster sucks, some of the alternatives aren't bearable ....

Fingers, toes, eyelashes, and all crossable appendages are crossed for Shane, labgrade - your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Was hoping to see better news this morning. 
Hang in there Shane, Labgrade and the rest of the family.
And folks, keep the prayers coming.

No new news.
It goes on.
Biopsy manana (wish I knew that nifty tilde/~/ .... brain goes blank ..... what is that keyboard-thing for characters? ..... hate it when the brain goes away, but getting more used to it )
I remember way back in the Olden Days when one of ours had an accident - what was that guy's name anyway? Lawdog - or sumpin'? ....
Such an outpouring of love and Family I hadn't seen outside of my own.
Till (again) now.
Cards 'n such flowed in & His Mom (?) couldn't believe it.
-----
We wait, watch & hold so tight.

Y'al can't kow the strangeness here ...

1/10 biopsy report back & Shane's in A3 rejection.
Back on this new drug/"double plus good" level & the steroids. Next biopsy Monday.
Kids at home, they don't know yet, The Wife can't, but must.
The two SMs'll do a face-to-face 1/12 at The House to decide what next. Looks like we'll have th egrandkids up here & do schoolwork through the fax machine. Always did want to homeschool 'em.
Although just a bit-player here, a by-stander & mere support .....
I am feeling so broken.
Hey God!
The "Coopers down the street" aren't having any excitement & we could really use a break .... howz about it, huh?

Hang in there, Labgrade. It will get better.
Many of us have been through something like this, and know how it feels. While that's small or no consolation, we're all with you.

We will light some more candles
Everyone, this is a chance to make a difference in someone's life. I know many of you sent cards to Shane, and if you could take a few minutes to get more in the mail it would do a lot to show him the amount of support he has across the country.

Spoke to Labgrade this evening. Shane is still in hospital while they try to find the right combination of drugs to fight his body's rejection of its new heart. He's pretty tired, and his wife (and Shane's wife) are surely even more exhausted! Keep the prayers coming, folks...

I've been praying for your family several times every day labgrade. I'll keep it up. I hope things stabilize and all works out, the alternative isn't acceptable. I know the constant up and down with recovery followed by setbacks can be very difficult. Are his wife and mother in contact with a counselor and/or clergy for spiritual and or mental support? I know you are doing what you can for them but sometimes someone outside is better. From the sounds of it you are seeing yourself as something of an outsider, yet from the tone of your posts it is clear that you really love your step-son (more like your son from how you clearly feel about him). Don't deprive yourself of the right to feel about this. Are YOU in contact with a counselor or clergy outside of THR for support? I can tell the support here, especially from certain members, means a lot to you, but are you speaking to anyone professional from outside who can bring another angle for you?
Anyway, don't ever lose hope. We are all praying and hoping for you, Shane and your family. Stay strong but don't be afraid to allow yourself to feel, to cry, scream or whatever you need- he is your son (step or not) and it is clear how much you love him.
