Re: Miss Goober Girl (was ... Georgina...info request)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I do remember. It was Miss Goober Girl! Her real name is Becki, I think.

After a search, I found what I believe is the Mailing List / support

group she formed. If so, it's accessible through:

InterstitialLung_Kids/

As I did more browsing around, to try to be certain that this is the

same person you spoke of (since I keep thinking , instead of Becki,

for some reason) I came upon some sadness. If this is, in fact, the

right person ... it turns out that she has been placed recently on the

double lung transplant waiting list. You can read more about her story at:

Aloha,

Georgina

Hi ,

You're very welcome. You are so right, about Becki's wonderful attitude

and her fighting spirit. What a great personality. I hope she's doing

better, that the infection has been treated and she's out of the

hospital? In thinking about it, I wish the donor program was universal

and instead of opting in people were automatically signed up for it with

a stipulation that you'll need to opt out if it's not something you're

willing to do. I sure hope that she's able to get the transplant she

needs so desperately. If you're in touch, please send my love and best

regards.

Take Care,

Georgina

Georgina;

Becki is now out of the hospital and looking forward to her meeting

about the transplant. I will be sure and send her your best. I agree

with you about organ donation...and I think there is talk on Capitol

Hill about doing just that...making it something you have to opt out

of if it is against your wishes, otherwise, if suitable, you are an

organ donor. We could sure help a lot more people this way. I'll keep

you posted on Becki as we learn more about her transplant.

Thanks!
