Friend is Sick. Please Show Your Support

Jian Shuo, the daughter of one of our very good friends here had a kidney transplant when she was in her 20's, and is now a healthy and productive 30-something-year-old young woman, with a long-term boyfriend and a very good life. I will contact them and ask them to find out if their daughter would be willing to write to Flora and give her some encouragement. If you can imagine, she met the young woman who later became her kidney donor, in an elevator on the way to a doctor's appointment! They had never met before, but something about the encounter sparked a willingness to make such an incredible gift to a virtual stranger. So, yes...near-miracles do happen! We will hope for the best for Flora, and I will let you know when I can get in touch with our friends.

Oh, hey! I just noticed it's **snowing** at your website!!! Very "cool" ;-)

I wish she will become better and better with his healthy, and happy christmas.

I would like to wish Flora a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Find the courage to fulfill your passion and dreams in spite of the barriers. Best wishes, good health.

You will be in my prayers tonight Flora! God bless you!

Carroll, it is a very encouraging story that the girl you mentioned recovered completely afte the kidney transplant. I feel the situation will be much better. I believe Flora will be very encouraged to know the story. Miracles will happen. We need to believe in that. Thanks for your story.

Thanks also goes to everyone who posted your wishes to Flora. I will make sure your words reach her....

My friend now has your e-mail address, and will pass it on to his daughter who he feels sure will respond with some encouragement for Flora. In the meantime, please tell her that several people in California are streaming our most caring thoughts in her direction! Here's to good health, for her in the New Year!

Thanks so much for your help. I believe it will make great impact for Flora to find the courage to smile to life. Merry Christmas!

I did 5 years of surgery after my medical school and post-graduate training. As far as I know, kidney transplantation is most stable and cost-effective organ transplantation with the highest post-operative survival rate, in China. I know in HangZhou, even early in 1991, in my hospital there were already hundreds patients under out-patient clinic follow-up, that means they had transplantation and they are still healthy. So, technically, FLORA should not worry too much, here is my best wish and Merry Christmas greeting from another Chinese folk living in cold, flu-troubled Europe, :-)

Zhang, thanks very much for your professional information. It will give great encouragement for Flora. I will help to pass your information to Flora. Do you know how to find a match for her?

The organ match usually is organized by the hospital, but as properbly you already know that there is always a long waiting list for the donor. Patients with renal falure live on hemodialysis for sometime until she/he get a donor who has the same so-called HLA type, this process takes quite long. I don't know if it is possible for Flora to find her own donor and has her operation done some other place in China, but she can try, and other friends also can help. Wish her good luck and spirit.

Thanks. HLA gives me good hints on which keyword I need to use to search the Internet for her.

i just want Flora to know that there are lots of people here in this part of our world(Guyana, South America)who are thinking about her and wishing her lots of happiness....we have her in our prayers....

I'm a graphic designer who works for a Outpost Natural Foods in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I've found your photos be be very beautiful, and exactly what we were looking to put on a poster featuring Fair Trade products from around the world.

Are your photos for sale for download? They would only be used on two small posters.

Thank you very much

or some people, receiving a kidney transplant may be the right option. Success of a kidney transplant depends on multiple factors, including whether the underlying cause of the kidney damage is still present, and general state of health of the person receiving the transplant.A kidney transplant is an operation performed by a transplant surgeon in which a healthy kidney from another person is placed into your body.

What is about flora now? Did she find a donor? I wish so.
