My cousin's daughter Ashley from Durant/Hugo, OK, is currently in surgery in Dallas undergoing a double lung transplant...10-13 hour procedure! She is about 33 years old and went through this same procedure 4 years ago. She waited then for what seemed like an eternity to get a match with numerous false alarms, driving to the hospital when they got the call, only to find out it was not a match; worried that she mighr die before a matched set became available. She finally received her lungs and, after a recovery period, she made slow, but substantial progress and was able to go back to work. We were all amazed.
After a couple of great years, her body started to reject the lungs, and here we are again. She was getting weaker and weaker, but...finally got a call this morning to get to Dallas. A set of lungs were waiting!
Ashley has been in turmoil over this whole ordeal because she knows that for her to live...someone has to die, and she is not totally comfortable with that.
I would really appreciate it if you guys could send some prayers her way!
