First I would like to thank all the sponsors, promoters, volunteers, players and other contributors for making the poker tournament for Leah a huge success. Together we raised a total of $8,948.50! This shattered our original goal and Leah and her family are so thankful to all of you!!
Leah is still currently active on the transplant list. She is keeping up with her rehab and going to regular doctor visits. Her pft's are down 15% this week, and her weight is also down to 96lbs, she is still having fevers on and off. The doctors at this time still feel it is best to keep her out of the hospital and resting at the hotel that they now call home. The doctors want to see her again in two weeks IF she has not received lungs by then. She did find out she will need to undergo surgery about a week after the new lungs have been transplanted because of the severe acid reflux she is having.
Please continue to keep Leah and her family in your prayers.
Thank you for the outpouring of love and support!
