Lindsay amazes me. She worked with us yesterday afternoon, explaining the medical facts of Matthew's condition, then started making telephone calls. She was still at the hospital when we left last night. She was there before us the next morning—we wonder if she ever left. She divides her attention among two phones and a computer. She occasionally focuses on Matthew—and, when we need her, on us—but he is still primarily the job of the ICU nurses. When we got to the hospital this morning, Lindsay told us she had found a recipient for his liver. Our joy at this news was almost pathetic. There is no longer anything to worry about on Matthew's behalf, but anxiety requires a focus. We allow ourselves to worry about which organs will be viable.
