Okarol and Jenna have been through so much.  I sure hope things go well.  That girl needs a chance at a normal life.

Holly's best Christmas ever occurred on December 22, 2016 when a compassionate family in their time of grief gave Holly the ultimate gift...a kidney!

Its amazing how fast her kidney got lined up once things fell into place.  I'm "friends" with her need a kidney site on Facebook and it was only very recently that a friend of her's donated a kidney into the paired exchange program and by the time that donor was out of of the hospital a donor was identified for her!  Its fairly amazing how its all happening due center based networks of of people donating kidneys on behalf of their loved ones with the hope that in turn someone else will do the same for the person they represent.  I also find it interesting that the kidneys are still flown across the country. 

I wish her the best and hope Okarol does ok with all the stress if it really happening.  I've always believed the role or the partner or loved one is the hardest, us patients just get to live through the stressful part in a Anesthesiologist created daze where the loved ones have to do all the waiting and worrying.

I also find it interesting that the kidneys are still flown across the country. 
A pilot friend loves it when an organ is booked on his flight since it gives him first priority for a landing slot.  He tells me he simply has to mention one term to air traffic control (I think it was "life flight" but I am not sure of that) and he's moved right to the head of the line.

Per Facebook she walked on Saturday and had her first real meal on Sunday morning - both are positive milestones.
