Any double donors out there: liver and kidney?

Laurie, I am sad to learn that the transplant did not happen. I am whispering a prayer for you, the other donors, and for the patients who are affected. Did you have an advanced cancellation, or was it close to the surgery date? With a deceased donor, which I had, the decision to perform surgery was in the hands of my transplant surgeon who told me that she couldn't tell me 100% until she saw/inspected the organs herself. I knew it was a 'go' when I was taken to the surgical unit.
I hope that everything proceeds smoothly this week. And, Yes, I will remember you in my prayers. I consider it an honor to be involved in that aspect of your journey toward the making of a miracle.

Will you report back and let us know when you are healed and recovered?

Hi Rosemary,

Yes, we who were local parts of that chain (my would-be recipient-- the one to whom I cannot donate-- and I) were very sad, too. We have now been part of at least 4 or 5 chains of multiple people, donors and recipients, that have all fallen apart. I think the closest we got to surgery with any of them was about 5 days.

Thank you SO much for your prayers! We really need them. I will for sure report back. And I am so glad you are doing well, Rosemary! Last Friday I spoke with my liver recipient (from 2 years ago) whom I had not heard from in a while, and was thrilled to hear how well she was (is) doing! Made my heart so happy!

Thank you again! <3 <3
