hope her organ damage is not irreversible.
Unfortunately, that’s not where we are.

Only putting this out publicly because DD has already done so. Her liver is beyond salvaging. She has been medically approved for a transplant. Waiting for insurance approval. She comes in very high on the list because she cannot survive without it. There’s no going home to wait.

oh dear, i hate to say this because it usually means someone else has lost their life but i hope a donor will come soon!

the liver may gradually recover even if the docs have given up hope and want a donor to come through.

you and your family are still in my hopes and best wishes.

I might have given the wrong indication above. Her liver will not recover. And yes, someone else will lose their life in order for her to be saved. Such a sobering thought. Some other family will be going through heartbreak while they are giving us the gift of hope. It’s completely heart wrenching.

When I renew my drivers license, I always check for being an organ donor. I need to remind my 2 kids that if it comes down making a hard decision, my desire is to be an organ donor.

Praying for a liver may seem like the wrong thing to do, but I don’t think so. I’ll be praying for a match for your daughter. Yes, another family will be going through grief and loss, but at the same time, love triumphs over all.
