This morning I received a call from my doctors telling me that they think I am doing so well that I can be removed from the Heart Transplant Waiting List. Previosly I have been in an "inactive" status. My doctors wanted to wait and see how I did after explanting the LVAD. So, 16 months after explant I am well enough to be removed from the list. What an amazing hurdle! I am so blessed. Thank you to everyone who has journeyed this time with me. I certainly could not have done it without each of you. YEAH!!!
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteYou have truly been blessed! To have had LVAD surgery, to heal enough for an explant, and now to come off the list is simply anothger of God's miracles.
I'm not going to stop reading your blog, so I hope you enlighten us occasionally.
God Bless!!

Many patients have to wait for a suitable donor organ to have a heart transplant. It might take long time due to the unavailability of organ donor. My brother has been very fortunate enough when he had a heart transplant surgery at Justsavelives organ transplant center and he got the immediate organ donor that really saves his life.
