David has had an exam that has confirmed he is brain dead but they have to repeat it again in a few hours to make it official. At the time of the exam, only his liver had shown enough improvement to potentially donate. His other organs have failed. We are waiting on more blood tests to see if his liver is functioning well enough to save a life....

Lifebanc had a crew immediately ready to start on David last night after he was declared deceased. Last night his body took a turn for the worse and they decided to attempt to take his kidneys immediately. This morning at 9:20 am we walked David's body down to the operating room. We have been so very blessed to have many visitors here in...

We're heading back to the OR soon. Pray for his kidneys to be at a peak performance so that they can be used. Also, pray for the young man in the room next to David's room. He was in a car accident and is in a coma. I asked their permission to add him to a MASSIVE prayer chain.

"We woke up this morning to some rough news. David needs to be taken back to the OR as soon as a team can be put in place because his body cannot sustain the organs any longer. If they can remove the kidneys, they can place them in a special box that can maintain them until they can find a recipient (Isn't technology amazing?). We were...

"We are watching and waiting as David's organs heal enough for him to be an organ donor. It is hard to prolong the inevitable, but we feel that David's life has so much more potential for impacting others by accomplishing this feat. The next 24-48 hours will be crucial as doctors and nurses work to keep him stabilized and it’s...

"It's with a very heavy heart that I write this. We have moved David's care to keeping his body alive in order to donate his organs. Without any neurological improvement in over 24 hours, David is gone. We have about 12 to 24 hours of brain swelling to go through to get to a point where he's stable enough to begin the donation process. That...

David drowned yesterday and after 45 minutes of CPR they were able to get his heart started but not his breathing. Upon arriving to Metro Health by Lifeflight, he was able to breathe on his own but it was only deep brain stem automated breaths. Throughout the night his organs have slowly started shutting down. They brought us a big bed to cuddle...
