Re: NEWSMAN ED HENRY DONATING PART OF LIVER TODAY TO SISTER

Yes indeed, @LindaSal -- hope all goes well when the time comes for your daughter and family.

 

@just bee,  I didn't know that that's what was wrong with Catherine Herridge's baby.  I trust it is resolved now.  The pictures of them are so precious...

Catherine Herridge, too, donated part of her liver to her son in 2006.  Was it really 2006?  It didn't seem that long ago...

Wishing the best of luck to Ed and his sister and hoping for a good outcome.  Until I read about this procedure I wasn't aware of how quickly the liver is able to regenerate.

Surgeries are done and both are doing well, I wish them a speedy recovery.

Re: NEWSMAN ED HENRY DONATING PART OF LIVER TODAY TO SISTER

I saw him announce this on Fox over the weekend.  He was so overcome that I felt bad for him....he was very emotional and it was obvious he loves his sister dearly.  Sending prayers for a speedy recovery for both of them

 

Years ago I signed up to be a donor (not a kidney) but was never a match for anyone.  From what I understand I am to old now.

Re: NEWSMAN ED HENRY DONATING PART OF LIVER TODAY TO SISTER

@RetRN   i was so glad to hear that the operations are being called "successes" and that both are recovering.  i imagine the next few days are awfully important -  i hope they are kept comfortable and that the regeneration and transplant get a good foundation.

 

prayers up!
