God is Great, Now and Forever ;
Last June we were told that my better half wouldn't be with us much longer, Her Liver was dying rather quickly from "Non Alcoholic Cirrhosis of the Liver". Began the hard trail of being placed on Transplant list in August at Baptist Integris Hospital , OKC. November ,24th , of 2023 , placed on list and a new to her Liver on December 5th of 2023. Liver is working great, hopefully going home tomorrow.
Then December 30th , our oldest Granddaughter, after 3 years of drs telling her, she would never conceive , went into Labor with her
Twins, nearly 2 weeks of doing their best to keep them in the womb , January 11th , I and my Wife became Great Grandparents , my Mother a Great, Great, Grandmother. Give the Glory to God !
Can only hope , He blesses all on the Forum, as He's blessed our Family. Thankyou one and all for this "Family" Forum, I've been blessed by each of you, with the knowledge shared.

Congrats! I'd say God Bless, but He already did.

Thanks for sharing with us. Very inspirational

That's a blessing for sure! You and I had a phone conversation the day before the Transplant, so so happy it is going well for you and yours!

Thats amazing! You have been blessed for sure.
I know a guy in Midwest City that has been on the list for 3 years. He's in the top 60 people on the list, it's just that a match hasn't come up for him yet. He just has to go for dialysis every other day. They told him that he can't be more than 45 minutes away from the hospital, and he has to carry a pager with him at all times.

Our home is 1.5 hours from the Transplant Center at Baptist , We were allowed 2 hours from notification to arrival. A miraculous tool for
Liver Transplant is a "Pump/Computer" which kept the donated Liver alive and ran diagnostics on the Liver. My wife's "New to her Liver" was on the machine for many hours as tests were ran on the Liver and last minute tests were run on my wife, 28 vials of blood for her final tests. Physical Therapy was here today and she is steadily improving . The little twins have met the weight requirement to go home, but have not developed the ability to regulate their own body temperature in an open air crib, but are healthy, eating, doing the other things babies do, like poo . Home gets closer every day. I give thanks for your kind words. Very blessed, beyond all hope. God bless each of you and this Forum , as we learn, together, to be better Stewards of the properties we've been given. .

Fishingadventure, a friend that lives in Midwest City is around #60 on the list. He has a pager and was told no more than 45 minutes away. He goes in for dialysis 3x week, 6pm to midnight. One kidney is still working 40% (I believe). A combination of Agent Orange and some other things got him. Nothing that was his fault.
Continued prayers for your wife, you and your family.
