Hi All
At 3 this morning the hospital called and advised they have a Kidney for Amanda!! The chances to me of this happening before my wedding is like winning the lotto!!! The match was 6 out of 6 which you only get with identical twins!! So its a very good sign only problem os the girl who passed who we have been told is only 27 years old had been on life support for 7 weeks when her heart gave up on her! The Drs have advised she had anamonia but she is 27 and died of anamonia?? Drs dont really know what this girl died off. They dont know if this same bacteria that got her may still be in the Kidney. Drs think it will be hard one and the kidney may not work straight away cause the girl was so sick for so long..
We have taken a risk and we hope its thr right one sooo please pray for us.. She should be out of the operation at 6-7 Sydney Australia time..
Thanks for all your prayers
Rose

What incredible timing! I will do lots of praying for your family. A wedding, a new kidney---new beginnings for both of you. Please keep us posted (because you will have so much free time) We all love Amanda, so lots of hugs and good wishes going "down under".  And special good wishes for you Rose! |

Holy Tumoly! Amanda thought she had years to wait for that kidney. This is just more great news with transplant after transplant happening for our IHD members this year. We might even have to change the name of the site to "I Love My Transplant" if this keeps happening. Please keep us posted on what is happening and if you could give us some contact information for Amanda at the hospital so we can get the cards and flowers headed her way. |
