In a nutshell, Mary still needs a donor. And soon. Whilst some people were kind enough to offer help, for various reasons none so far have been compatible.

We can't stress highly enough that time isn't on our side here, so if anyone is reading this and has previously thought about offering to donate but had banked on someone else doing it, we'd ask you to now seriously consider doing so. A blood group compatible with O+ (ie, O+ or O-) is what she's looking for. That covers around 40% of the population of the US, so statistically the chances of a match SHOULD be reasonable. If you're accepted as a donor, all costs will be covered.

Mary my dear, I am praying very, very hard for you. So sorry to be out of touch. I have been sick as a dog since Labor Day weekend with a bad viral infection. It's been stubborn and downright dreadful. I haven't been on-line much at all. I know you understand. I hope the music I sent is giving you some peaceful moments.

And bless you LJ and Gazza for all you are doing behind the scenes for our Mary. You are both saints.

love,
Martha

Hi Everyone.
Just a little update.
Mary has been hospitalized three times within the past month. She has known for some time that her chances of getting a liver in Florida are much better than NJ/NYC area.

She is out of the hospital and looking for a flight ASAP. If she can, she will leave tomorrow.

And now for the power of the Stones.
Our good friend Stonesdoug was at his High School Reunion several months ago and ran into an old friend who mentioned that he was a Liver Transplant survivor. Doug thought to mention Mary to him as he too had suffered from Hepatitis C.
Well, our angel Bob, offered to help. He feels he would like to give something back. he has been counseling Mary for months and has been a tremedous help to her.
He has agreed to put her up and set her up with his Doctors.

So today I am asking that we wish Mary well on her journey and thank Bob for his generosity to our beloved friend.

And once again, the power of the Stonesian bond amazes me.

Godspeed my Sister.

xoxo
LJ.

So pleased to hear this encouraging news.

For those who dont know, Florida has a lower MELD (Model for End Stage Liver Disease) score requirement than several other states, including New Jersey - which means that she has a chance of meeting the criteria for a transplant earlier than she would if she stayed at home.

There's been a hell of a lot of setbacks and red-tape getting in Mary's way over the last few months, but she's been a real fighter throughout (as has her mom) and we're hopeful that she'll have a positive outcome soon. Your best wishes, hopes and prayers for our dear friend would be appreciated.

A special thanks to Bob for all his help over the last few weeks and months and for his unselfish offer to reach out to someone that he's never even met. It's amazing what the Stones community can be capable of.

You're never out of my thoughts, Mary - and we all love you and are rooting for you.
