One transplant failed after a few days; the other gave her a new life for several years. It was her need that helped me begin to fill out the donor section on the driver's license.<br /><br />I will keep your sister and her family and you in my prayers.

Your sister is obviously such a special person in your life, and I will certainly be remembering her in my prayers. I have always carried a Donor Card, as I really do think it is so important. I agree with Shady, that we do not always know what our blogging friends are going through with their families or friends, although I think most of us do share our thoughts here, which is good, because our bloggy friends are such an awesome, supportive and encouraging bunch of people. I wouldn't want to be without them in my life now, certainly. Take care my friend. I know that this must be a very worrying time for you at the moment. When I was having a major back operation a few years back, I received a text from a friend, which simply said "in quietness and trust is your strength" and that actually helped me quite a lot.Southhamsdarlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285980805569582676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-22897006912722725882012-04-27T16:31:59.048-05:002012-04-27T16:31:59.048-05:00Dr. Kathy: Thank you so much- I just have to belie...Dr. Kathy: Thank you so much- I just have to believe the best~Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-58976535208747604492012-04-27T16:12:48.460-05:002012-04-27T16:12:48.460-05:00I'll keep your sister and your whole family in...I'll keep your sister and your whole family in my thoughts and prayers, Shelly, that through the tragedy and generosity of another family, your sister will have a new lease on life.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-42793132034303073052012-04-27T09:50:13.700-05:002012-04-27T09:50:13.700-05:00Jenn: Thank you for your prayers and thank you for...Jenn: Thank you for your prayers and thank you for being registered!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-5141150623534630972012-04-27T09:49:51.229-05:002012-04-27T09:49:51.229-05:00Jenny: That's how I look at it- if it's in...Jenny: That's how I look at it- if it's inevitable, then at least have as much good come from it as you can.

I did not see this post until tonight. I know just what you were describing about childhood fights with your sister. My Mom used to say they fight like cats and dogs amongst themselves but don't ever think you can go at one without the others uniting like an iron fist and coming after you. <br /><br />My Grandmother Bet convinced me at an early age to be a donor and I have been for a long time. Her way of putting it was humorous but sincere. She said. "if my old body can help anyone else then they are welcome to it and if just young practicing Dr's need it...well I think they need all the practice they can get!"<br /><br />I will be praying for you and your sister and all your family. Hang in there dear one and know you are loved.<br />Hugs~Sushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098871743806383324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-1977995128534024352012-04-25T20:53:03.909-05:002012-04-25T20:53:03.909-05:00momto8: Thank you!
