Jo's Journal

My nephew was an organ donor.  When I spoke with my sister, she said that the doctors told her that they were able to harvest my nephew's heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys, & corneas.

So--some good has come out of this and today there are quite a few people who have a new lease on life.

  I hope you do not mind......... but after leaving my last comment  i was being nosey and read this entry.
  
  I think that that was a very courageous thing for your nephew to do and an even more courageous thing for your sister to be able to do, whilst it is a wonderful thing to do, it cannot be easy for the person who has to agree with it. The good news is that others will have a chance of life thanks to your nephew.
  
  God bless them

  I would think that would be a very comforting thing to know.

  So many more people need to be organ donors, kudos to your Nephew.
  Prayers going up for the family.
  I sent many of my readers over yesterday (from a brief entry I made in my main jouurnal), I hope their prayers & gentle thoughts have offered you some comfort.
  Bless you all,
