I would greatly appreciate any prayers for an old classmate, who I will just call D.
D and I went to grade school from K-8. He was a quiet kid, but really sweet and a really funny sense of humor. He wasn't one of my closest friends but we would chat at school and had some little inside jokes between us. I could always count on him for a laugh. He was a really nice guy and I know all my former classmates would have nothing but nice things to say about him.
I remember that a few times throughout school he'd be in the hospital for weeks at a time. I knew he had some sort of chronic illness, but I was young and really didn't know what it was and didn't want to ask. As I got older I come to find out he has cystic fibrosis.
I don't think I have seen him for over 10 years now, but thanks to being Facebook friends, I have found out that he is currently in the hospital again. Apparently he's been in and out since November and has not been responding to meds like he normally does. He has now been bumped to the top of the transplant list in his area for a double lung transplant.
They got the call that they had lungs on Monday, prepped him for surgery and at the very last minute (like literally, very last minute from what I understand based on the blog his gf made for him) they called it off. They checked the lungs again and felt they were not up to par. :/
So he still waits at the top of the list. I would appreciate any prayers for him, that he receives new, healthy lungs very soon!
