Just got an email not 30 seconds ago telling me that a girl who grew up in my hometown, who also has cystic fibrosis, is currently undergoing a partial liver transplant. She is about 10 years younger than me and my mom used to babysit her when she was a toddler.

I knew she was having a rough time and had been on the transplant list for a little bit now but to actually read that she's on the table as I sit here sort of shook me. Shook me right to the core.

I just hope and pray she's going to be okay. I'd give anything if I could trade places with her so that she and her family didn't have to go thru all of this. Not that it would do any good but ................ oh hell, I don't know.
