Katie Status
Katie is still critically ill. She has been moved, but only to be better served in a post op area of the hospital. Her level of care has not relaxed, and she is dependent on the Bipap machine to breathe. Her spirits are great and she is positive.
Being a living donor
We need only one lobe. Each lung has several. Wikipedia says the donor usually has little to no long-term negative effects from the procedure. Katie is an amazing person, and we're trying to save her life. If you have any leads, let us know.
