On that morning, after a six-hour operation at Stanford Hospital, Larry received a successful double lung transplant from a fourteen-year-old girl who had made the decision; she wanted to help people go on if she couldnt. What follows in these pages is a chronicle of the six-year struggle Larry endured to not only stay alive, but to also find the true nature of his disease. He went from doctor

When a routine visit to the optometrist revealed an inflamed nerve, Buddy Norris didn't worry about it. He figured antibiotics could handle something like that. Buddy didn't realize that he and his wife, Amy, were about to plunge into a life-or-death battle that would take them on a complex journey in search of hope, faith, and a new set of lungs. In 2010, doctors diagnosed Buddy with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which inevitably results in death from respiratory failure without a double lung transplant - a transplant Buddy wouldn't qualify to receive. To Catch My Breath is an unflinchingly honest account of one man's struggle with an array of doctors, hospitals, and a system that seemed determined to beat him. It's also a story of courage and perseverance for anyone facing an organ transplant. In this book, Buddy reveals the tough realities of waiting for an organ and the challenges transplant recipients face after surgery. His story provides down-to-earth information for people awaiting transplants, and it honors the families of organ donors brave enough to leave their lungs, hearts, or kidneys on earth after they left. Through his and Amy's memories, Buddy weaves an intimate and powerful testimony to God's providence, his wife's faithfulness, and his own unbroken spirit.

STOP. BREATHE. Now feel the oxygen coming in and out of your lungs. It's simple, easy, something you do every day without even thinking about it. But what if one day you woke up and couldn't? Walking to your car felt like running a mile? What if your entire life depended on the decision of a stranger...choosing to be or not to be an organ donor? In this true story, Dr. Karen A. Kelly M.D. shares her husband's journey through a life-saving lung transplant. Learning about his courageous battle can help any patient or caregiver understand the extensive responsibilities required for a successful organ transplant. As a pediatrician, Dr. Kelly found herself in a different role as caretaker not as provider. Her experience highlights the vital importance of taking care of oneself in order to adequately care for a sick loved one. She also stresses the importance of stopping: to rest, to take a deep breath, to laugh, and to rejuvenate. The Kelly's story sheds light on the shocking realization that 120,000 people in the U. S. right now are waiting for an organ transplant and that twenty of those people will die every day waiting on the "list" for a stranger to decide to be a hero.

Strange Harvest illuminates the wondrous yet disquieting medical realm of organ transplantation by drawing on the voices of those most deeply involved: transplant recipients, clinical specialists, and the surviving kin of deceased organ donors. In this rich and deeply engaging ethnographic study, anthropologist Lesley Sharp explores how these parties think about death, loss, and mourning, especially in light of medical taboos surrounding donor anonymity. As Sharp argues, new forms of embodied intimacy arise in response, and the riveting insights gleaned from her interviews, observations, and descriptions of donor memorials and other transplant events expose how patients and donor families make sense of the transfer of body parts from the dead to the living. For instance, all must grapple with complex yet contradictory clinical assertions of death as easily detectable and absolute; nevertheless, transplants are regularly celebrated as forms of rebirth, and donors as living on in others' bodies. New forms of sociality arise, too: recipients and donors' relatives may defy sanctions against communication, and through personal encounters strangers are transformed into kin. Sharp also considers current experimental research efforts to develop alternative sources for human parts, with prototypes ranging from genetically altered animals to sophisticated mechanical devices. These future trajectories generate intriguing responses among both scientists and transplant recipients as they consider how such alternatives might reshape established—yet unusual—forms of embodied intimacy.

At age thirteen my world was turned upside down. The summer between my eighth and ninth grade changed my life forever. I went from rarely stepping foot in a doctor's office, to becoming so familiar with them I frequently found myself napping on the exam table. I spent the next several months being passed from one specialist to the next like unidentified matter. However, at age fourteen, I discovered the answer to my failing health: I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. Two years later, after three different hospitals, countless doctors and several surgeries, I was the fortunate recipient of a liver transplant. A Transplanted Life: My Story and Guide on Transplant Success was written for two reasons: to share my story and offer useful, practical advice to patients and parents alike, who are going through a similar experience. Because of the dual purpose, the book is separated into two parts.
