My mother, who was 60 at the time of the transplant is now 72 and doing very well.

My coworker and friend was able to enjoy his 40th birthday the year after that transplant…something he thought he would never see. God is good!

WOW…that’s incredible!

My name is Pattie Corder…I am a 2 time living related organ donor as well. April 24, 2000, I donated 60% of my liver to my mother at the University of Cincinnati, OH, and October 24, 2007, I donated my left kidney to a coworker and friend. At the time of my last donation, doctors at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, KY, could find no evidence that anyone had been a 2 time living related organ donor. Something else we have in common…it looks like he was an officer in Worldbank…I am also an officer of a community financial institution in Kentucky.

I have had the blessing of being interviewed to promote organ donor awareness locally and on the state level and I am also a donor on my drivers license.

Thanks for doing what you do…lives are being saved!

God bless!

Pattie

McAvoy Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:09:29 +0000 http://www.livingorgandonors.org/?p=276#comment-104 Hello! This was sent to me by a friend who suggested I check it out. I am a living liver donor in Ct. and my recipient lives here in Ct too. We have been involved with ALF for the last 10 years. Our transplant was done at NYU 10 years ago. I am excited to see a support group has come together! Please e-mail me information. I cannot attend the meeting this week, but may be able to in February. I will pass this on to my recipient.

Sincerely,

Helen
