I don't post much, but thought this was worthy news! I GOT THE CALL! My transplant should take place tomorrow morning at Mayo Clinic in Arizona!
I am praying for the family of the donor, and thanking the Lord for hearing my prayers (begging, screaming, crying, tantrums, and other unattractive behavior). I thank you all for being here, and available at all hours of the day and night.
Wishing and praying for each, and every one of you for what you most desire.

Love,
Deanna

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty. The glass is just twice as large as it needs to be.

We seem to get a new member on IHD every day, which is a bittersweet thing.  I wish we could get YOUR kind of news every day.  How wonderful, how wonderful for you.  It's like you've been awakened from a terrible nightmare.  I am so very thrilled for you and am hoping that you will get to enjoy a long, normal life!  I can't wait to hear more from you...please post again as soon as you can!!
