Transplants

Wow, I'm really behind on reading blogs. I just haven't had the energy lately.

But I was pleased to learn tonight that Annika over at Falling Down is Also a Gift got her new liver. She's having some complications, which is to be expected, but the new liver seems to be doing its job so far.

Please keep Annika and her family in your prayers, as well as the family of the donor.

Also, over on another blog: Baby Gwyneth Rose, who was born at 24 weeks and 4 days gestation (1 lb, 6 oz.), is doing extremely well. She is 9 months old and absolutely beautiful. Her mother, Tricia, who has cyctic fibrosis, got her lung transplant a few months after Gwyneth was born and is now fighting lymphoma. At the moment she's in the hospital, but is hoping to be discharged soon.

The short version of their story is here. You can check in on their progress at Confessions of a CF Husband.
