OMG!!!!!!! My mom is getting married in FOUR hours and we got the call!!!!!! I have hair dye in my hair! I just got my nails all done, Im supposed to be dressed up!!!!!!! UCLA was on the caller ID and I jokingly said to my mom "wouldnt it be funny if this was the call?!?!" and it WAS!!!!!! But its not really funny....and we have to leave in 15 minutes, we';re driving, they are looking at the liver at 6pm to decide if they can use it. It is a pediatric donor, they are going to split it between Gavin and someone else. I was crying when they told me, I am just so sad, and panicked and excited! Its so weird! Anyway, I'll update asap! Pray for us!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
{ Hello! }
My name is Gavin. I am 11 months old. I was born with a genetic disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency that caused my liver to go into failure. I was misdiagnosed for 3 months and underwent emergency surgery before they found out what was wrong. I am on the Organ Donation List and am waiting for my "gift of life" so I can have a liver transplant. You can read about my story by clicking {here}. Thank you for visiting my online journal!
*It is our deepest sorrow to inform you that Gavin passed away while waiting to receive a liver transplant. He was only 14 days away from his 1st birthday. Please, if you haven't already, sign up to be a registered organ donor today and talk to your loved ones about your wishes: http://www.donatelife.net/. Thank you all so much for your love and support during this last year.
