Lung Transplant - Got the CALL! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MandiesMom · 12-31-2012, 08:00 PM

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.

Prayer said, God bless Jada, the donor, and all of your family...May this all come to be the way it should be...

I pray that all goes well with Jada's surgery and that she is able to breathe freely and have a happy, healthy, long life.

Sorry it took me so long to get back here to update. Thank you all so much for your prayers and I ask that you continue them.

Unfortunately, the lungs were not viable (they had fluid in them) so the transplant was cancelled. My niece is in good spirits because she found out over the last 36 hours just how huge her support system is and how fast everyone can spring into action when the call comes.

God has his own time and plan and we know this. The right lungs will come at the right time. I have a good feeling about 2013!!

I'm so sorry to hear this....but at least she's at the top of the list, right? Any day now
