Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2807403, member: 591"] As some know, my wife is on the waiting list for a liver. That said, livers generally come from deceased folks; live partial liver transplants can be done, but there are strict donor requirements and (in any case) my wife's hardware isn't in the right condition to accept a partial transplant. Thank goodness that technology has advanced to where there is a reasonable expectation that my wife will, in time, receive a liver (it isn't "urgent", she is still functioning if sometimes struggling) and, after a slightly longer recovery than your daughter (but not excessive) will be expected to resume a normal life (not sure if her other issues from the underlying cause of her liver problems will be resolved or not). Glad your story had a happy ending, prayers for the WBB player, and hopes that many remember to mark themselves a an organ donor for when they won't be needing them anymore. [/QUOTE]
