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.

Elissa got the call for Transplant

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

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

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.

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.
