I've really been meaning to blog about the everyday events of our lives but for some reason I only end up blogging when we travel on the other side of the planet, a new human joins our family, etc... Well, our latest blog-worthy story is my sweet, almost-one-year-old niece London. Check out her blog at:
http://www.liverforlulu.blogspot.com/
I just found out today that my liver would not be a good match for little Lulu. Her mom (my sister Liz) had the perfect size to donate but less than ideal arterial branching; her dad (James) had good arterial branching but the liver was too big for London; and me...big liver AND weird arteries. I mean, I knew I had my quirks...I just didn't know they extended to my organs. I was so hoping to be goldilocks with the "just right" liver...anyway, it's been a sad day. The only analogy I can think of is that I've been high on the thought that I'd be able to help my sweet little niece and now I'm in my post-high crash. Liz called to comfort ME today. My sassy little baby sister has turned into an amazing mom/girl (sorry, I still can't call you woman, Liz! ;)
Anyway, if anyone even reads this (since I only blog quarterly at best), please keep London and her family in your prayers.
*News flash--the plan right now is to keep London stable and get her big enough to receive her dad's liver...staying hopeful ;)

cyd-o-nee, I am sorry it was a sad day for you. I was excited for you, too. You were glowing on Saturday. So much to be said for even being willing...
You amaze me.
I will keep them in my prayers! I hope and pray she can gain that weight quickly and her Dad's liver will work well for her. You're an amazing person to even be willing to do that. I'll keep you all in my prayers.
breaks my heart, but I will be hopeful. What a sweet baby she is. Your sister is amazingly strong! And so are you!
I'm so sorry. That is a big disappointment. I'm sending you a hand hug through cyberspace. We'll keep praying for London and your family. I read the new posts on the blog last night and I'm so impressed with your sister. She is a quality woman!
It's great to see that everyone wants to help donate things for the Boutique Raffle. People are truly amazing. Just let me know if you would like me to get those things from you on Wednesday or let me know if you will be there on Thursday? Thanks again. We pray that London will grow strong for her daddys liver. Your family is amazing.
oh sissy, i'm so behind on looking at my loved ones blogs...what a sweet post to read sitting in the hospital tonight. i actually just got done texting you. ;) you are "just right" and then some cyd. like pooke said just that you were willing...you amaze me too.
Wow! I haven't been on her in forever. Are you doing ok? I just started blogging again.
