A Gift from Julie

<p>This book was written to encourage people facing a life-threatening illness in the case of the author nonalcohol cirrhosis of the liver. One of my doctors said If you don't get a liver transplant soon you are going to die. What a statement to hear from your doctor! This doctor who is a caring and compassionate person referred me to the Liver Center at Lahey Clinic in Massachusetts. As I found out getting a new liver is not quick and definitely not easy. The power of prayer is evident throughout this entire crisis. Judy received many blessings and miracles throughout this grueling journey. I was told I had Factor 5 which is a blood clotting problem therefore I could not have a live donor liver. This meant I had to wait and pray a cadaver liver could be found before I would die from liver disease. Through prayers blessings and miracles the doctors said they would do a live-donor liver transplant. My niece became my liver donor after having difficulty finding a donor. If you have ever been thrust into a life threatening situation this book will interest you.</p>
