This is such a fantastic story. Serious respect to the doctors and nurses and medical staff (you know they’re all strung out and overworked these days anyway dealing with other problems), the donor (posthumously) and their family for giving the gift of life and hope, and for Elissa for being such an internally-tough, never-say-die badass. She’s awesome. Here’s hoping that everything goes well and no complications. She certainly deserves it for being so positive and determined to go on through all this. Awesome story.

I'm choking up a bit at reading this news. I swear I couldn't be more pleased. A wish granted, a door opened.
All blessings on both families, especially to those who suffered a loss and chose to turn it into a gain for the other.

Great news. It is an amazing era we live in when the lungs and many other organs can be transplanted. We are all pulling for her.

I thought about the surgery in progress several times late yesterday and last night. Great to hear no issues surfaced!

Congratulations and what great news the surgery went the way it was hoped. Just think how relieved she will be, being able to live a normal life in the future compared to the alternative. Keep us posted.

Can't imagine the worries and scares involved with this kind of procedure of a child.
Glad to hear it went well, and wishing a smooth recovery !

From the other side of the world, I send best wishes and prayers for the best possible recovery to Elissa. I also give thanks to the donor's family for choosing to help another human being in the midst of their own loss. May they find solace in Elissa's new lease on life.
