Hello family & friends,

Tanela is in Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh www.CHP.org with a new problem.

Due to Tanela's pulmonary hypertension, heart damage, transplant drugs from having a double lung transplant on 10-12-2000 and having high blood pressure, she will now need to have a kidney transplant.

We are looking to find a living donor.

Tanela is blood type O, which means that she can only receive blood type O organs. I will be forwarding more info as I can.

Tanela will be having surgery on Wednesday, December 17 to have a peritoneal catheter placed. This will allow her to begin dialysis while she waits on a kidney transplant.

A PICC line for venous access will most likely be placed soon as well.

We appreciate all the prayers & well wishes...He will bring us through this also...

Hugs Around The World (HATW),
Karen
