It’s past midnight, and all are still working on Caitlin, and that is still happening in the OR. We haven’t had an update in well over two hours when one of the surgeons reported that they were trying to stop the bleeding in her chest wall. They were thinking that it was her liver causing that.
That’s all I know.
9 Lives Notes 
Came across Caitlin’s story on facebook while “studying” for my nursing finals. I have been reading your blog for the last 45 minutes, waiting for another update. Prayers are with you and your family but especially Caitlin. Know that so many hearts are with you all as Caitlin takes on her transplant surgery this evening. Prayers and positive vibes your way!
with you all in positive thoughts and prayers… xo
Sending you strength and hope. And wisdom to all the doctors.
Life so delicate
Know we are with you
As prayers for all surrounding Caitlin
And a stability within with a peaceful
Calm allowing the miracle continues
With the deepest of loving strength
And a trust in her guardian angel
Prayers through out the night from California
Lyn Thoma (friend of Cathy Dirlam)
Prayers continue for Caitlin, you, Nick, and the amazing surgical team.
Sending peaceful, positive thoughts, and love.
Sending love and light your way. The whole world is pulling for her.
