liver transplant its a go

[bigslice]

thought i would share a small bit of hope, wee brother has been in hospital the last six weeks with liver failure. monday night 8pm my sister suggested me and my mother come and see him (just incase) travelled 90 miles. didnt look good he is sedated and recovering from bowel removal. he has lost or got through 20 pints of blood tuesday not good tuesday night today stable. i will admit on tuesday after being there all day i had said my goodbyes to him!!!!!!!!!!! we were talking about turning things off etc. tonight phonecall he will be operated on tomorow morning a suitable liver is available. its his only chance of survival. so we are all on a wee high and just hope he can get strong for this. im not religious but will be saying a wee prayer before bed tonight. still know he has a long way to go but its a start.
so everyone please have a we think about things and get yourself giving blood and donating your organs when you leave to play on the big golf course upstairs.

Great shout, we should all give blood(if we can)

Truly touching. Fingers crossed for all of you, but especially your little brother.

Just puts everything into perspective when you hear of things like this.

I will keep giving the red stuff; `O` neg so anyone can have mine.

Not religious, but will certainly be hoping your god is a good and kind one.
