Hi  folks,

I  just  received  a call from  transplant  hospital.
Looks  like  I  have  a potential  transplant  in  the  morning.
I'm  on standby  now,  waiting  for  a call back  to  see  if  organs  are  okay.

wish me  luck!

From Sept 1st to now has to be a record number of transplant for IHD.  I remember the first transplant posted here after I joined.  They were few and far between.  Now, more and more are receiving them.  Not enough yet!!  I want an endless number of members to get one.

Marina, we are anxious to hear how you are doing.  I pray it was a smooth surgery and everything is working well  I'll keep praying for you and all involved (and the donor's family)     We are all excited for you!!     :2thumbsup;
