On a Wing and a Prayer


Hello Dear Family and Friends,
We got notification Wednesday evening that they are processing a potential donor for Brent's patella transplant this week. (fresh osteochondral allograft transplant)
The news is bittersweet. Some family somewhere, has lost a child in the prime of life.
That family's generosity in their time of deep unexplainable grief is overwhelming.
Our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to them in sorrow and
we hope that the healing balm of the Lords hand will be upon them,
that He will encircle them about in the arms of His love.
We will not know if it is a good match and the tissue is healthy until the week of October 6-10, with Brent's surgery either the end of that week or the beginning of the next week.
but we ask you, our friends and family to keep the family of our potential donor in your
hearts and minds and prayers.
We don't know who he is, but he is someones son,
and God knows where and who this family is.
I can not imagine their pain.
Love, Lisa
