Update

Susan is officially on the donor list as of this morning. Instead of going home, she's going to stay in the hospital for now waiting on her transplant. According to her doctors, everything could move very quickly from here on out - with a heart possibly being available within 5-24 hours. (Of course, things might also not move quickly. This is all just a wait and see.)

Here are a few stats about the surgery once they find Susan a heart:
- The surgery will last 6 hours.
- After the surgery, Susan will be on a ventilator for 24 hours to make sure her lungs are strong, etc. She will not be able to talk to anyone during this period.
- Susan will be in the hospital for 10-14 days after the surgery recovering.

For all of Susan's friends who have been kind enough to offer to visit, it is immensely appreciated, but there are a few guidelines so that we don't exhaust her:
- If you would like to visit Susan, you need to contact Ashley to arrange that. Ashley is in charge of the calendar, and she will let you know which dates are good, etc.
- There will be a place for you to stay in Philadelphia. Alli is getting an apartment that will hopefully have a guest room, but it will at least have a couch to crash on. Because of the space constraints (and various other factors), only individuals or couples should visit at any one given time. There's no room for big groups, and Susan (obviously) doesn't have the energy or resources to hostess at this point, so only individuals and couples for now.
- I know that not everyone can take off work at a moment's notice, and that most people have designated holidays, but when you contact Ashley about visiting, she'll have to pick dates based on Susan's schedule. I hope that doesn't put anyone out, but there's just not much that can be done about it.

Thank you all for all of your support and love! Susan is so grateful!
