This is your chance to share your story
about an organ donor or a transplant recipient. You may send
your story to Mrs.
Lipusch (link disabled) at Hinkle
Creek Elementary School. After we
have read your story, we may choose to post it on this web
site. Thanks for sharing your fantastic
story This was
submitted to us in
March
2000. I went into
Fairview Medical University Center in Minnesota on
September 30, 1998. I was in the medical center
for 65 days. First I had transfusions because my
platelets were going down and I needed them to stay
alive. Then I had Chemo and radiation to kill my
old bone marrow. My hair fell out. Then I had my
bone marrow transplant. I was asleep. It took 14
days until I had new marrow. I made my own white
blood cells to make me well. Last November
I went on the Montel Williams Show to meet my
donor. My donor's name is Joseph. After the show
we went out to lunch with Joseph and his parents.
Joseph was nice to me. I'm glad I got to meet
him. This was
submitted to us in December of
1999.
