Elissa And Our First Dry Run.
 

15 Hours ago I started this post......Sadly we are all home with our first dry run. I will explain in a new post. All is good with us.

New post. So we got the call at 10;15 last night and we had to make a decision fairly fast. We decide to take the offer and wait for the next phone call.
This was a young donor and was in a fatal car wreck and was brain dead.
This left lots of time to harvest the organs with several teams of Doctors. We were told that there was a risk with the donor due to the fact that 1 indicator of possibly a higher risk Drug use, Sex partners, Jail , Homosexual .We tool the risk. Well after 15 hours the harvest team said 1 lung had some damage due to the accident and was not usable.

I can't even imagine.
My prayers and hope to you all.

That is disappointing but you will be all the more prepared for the next, real run.

I am so sorry, next time will be the real deal.

Thanks for the update, Gary.

Things will work out....keep the faith....

Bugger..................next time mate.

We're feeling those ups & downs with you, Gary ..

Sorry to hear... I am hoping something else is meant for your daughter. Maybe a more suitable donor...

Keep the faith...

Keep up hope for a better outcome next time. Best wishes for Elissa. At least there is a good possibility for a successful transplant as opposed to not long ago when it wasn't an option.

Slow inhale....and exhale.... WOW! Thanks for the update. I have followed your updates and never posted. 😔 I can only try to imagine your situation!

Definietly keep the faith!

What a roller coaster ride. There's a reason for everything. Best regards to you and your family!

Tragic but keep your spirits up.

Here's hoping for a Christmas and New Year filled with joy, unlike the last one... my heart goes out to you and your family - I can't even imagine the roller coaster you've been riding.
