It feels kind of horrible to be happy that someone just died
Katie, Cheerleading!Sister's little sis, is headed into surgery very soon (within the hour) for a lung transplant (double, I think). She's 15, has CF and has been on the top of the transplant list for a while now. Late last night the hospital called and told them to grab their stuff and get down there. She's just been fed all the anti-rejection meds and she's just about ready to go. The surgery is twelve hours long and the biggest fear now is that her body will reject the lungs.
Do me a favor guys? Cross your fingers for her. Pray, think good thoughts, do whatever it is you when you need that extra bit of hope. I know a few people have probably just lost some respect for me right there but I don't give a flying fuck, I remember when this kid used to refuse to wear anything more than a t-shirt and... You don't get pushed to the top of the transplant list because you're doing fine on your own.

And it's great that you talk with your Mom about that because that's really the only thing that matters. It doesn't matter if you're signed up as a donor, if your next of kin says "no" when the time comes that's it.
Thank you again.
