"Update on 11-month-old needing liver"

I wanted to update everyone on the last post. I let everyone know that there was a family looking for a liver for their 11-month old boy.

I have wonderful news!

The night of this post, early in the morning, he received a cadaver liver.

The last I talked to the family, he was doing well.

Thank you to everyone that contacted me regarding this. I'm sure I'll be contacted about more in the future.

I have goosebumps! I prayed and prayed for that baby. What a great ending. I was thinking about all last night wondering who I know to ask. I can't because I am preparing to get a living kidney transplant soon "hopefully". Do you mind if tell people an my blog about it?

No, I don't mind at all. I will keep you in my prayers. My recipient got his new kidney just 6 weeks ago. He's doing great and going back to work.
