5/23/2012 - Received a phone call at 2:30 am from the University of Utah Transplant Unit.  They have a liver for Noel!  They want to transplant by 7:00 am.  I woke Noel to tell him tears of joy flowed or both of us.  Noel called John Barlow to come and give him a blessing.  John Barlow & Alan Hague gave Noel a wonderful blessing - Thank You!  Noel wanted Nicole to cut his hair before we headed to the hospital.   Yes she did cut it as you can see!  Arrived at the hospital by 2:30 am.  They immediately started prepping Noel for surgery.
