I was just informed the Pittsburgh Hospital has found a donor for my three-year old granddaughter Cassandra. Her liver transplant surgery is scheduled for 2 am and will take 12-18 hours. Her mom and dad are on their way racing from Philly to Pittsburgh to see, hug and love on this tiny warrior before she's wheeled into the OR. Double the good news in that the transplant team and surgeons said this is a perfect match.
Any blessings, prayers you can spare please send them in the direction of Pittsburgh.
For the Warrior Princess.

Thanks for the note!

Still dancing, too. LOL.

Turns out I jumped the gun with my Cassandra post; her 'perfect match' liver was not so perfect after all. Her surgeon rejected the organ on examination. Not sure what the 'why' was in the decision-making but the team put out a definite no-go.
So, Cassandra is back on the organ list and we will await another call, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Thank you all for the good wishes.
I'm convinced the surgery will happen, eventually. We just need to wait a bit longer.
