Thank you all so much. Yes, it's really hard when you or a loved one needs a transplant. It took us all a long time to realize that when we pray for Jada's lungs, we were not praying for someone to lose their life...just that if someone was going to lose their life, that they were a donor. It was even more complicated last year when Jada was the "back up" recipient. We prayed that God's will be done and the person that needed the lungs most got them. It was so tormenting because we were so happy for the lady that got the lungs, we really were...but at the same time, of course we were disappointed that Jada didn't.
This transplant merry-go-round is not one to ride without a strong faith in God. I'll tell ya that.
Okay..I was supposed to get up extra early in the morning...get some sleep tonight. I can see that's not going to happen so I'm thinking I might just go ahead and hit the road to B'ham in a few.
