I am very grateful to my donor...

**Update**
Exactly one year ago today, my husband Arthur received a second chance at life. A set of new lungs. Although he has had many ups and downs throughout this year…he is still here. Breathing with no oxygen. Our family is very grateful to his donor for giving him the most precious gift anyone could ever receive…the gift of life…a second chance. #DonateLife

Almost exactly one year ago, I was at work changing a pump in a chlorine dioxide trailer. The line was not flushed before they asked me to change the pump so chlorine dioxide came pouring out. I quickly changed the pump and then washed out the trailer as the chemical is highly flammable. I wasn’t feeling good so I ended up going to the hospital where no one knew how to treat me. By the grace of God, after 10 hospitalizations and being on oxygen 24/7 at four liters, I met Dr. Saggar with Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. He is the only one that was able to figure out that my lungs were destroyed in the deep tissue and that I would probably not survive a biopsy. I was added to the transplant list on 12/1/15 for a double-lung transplant. In January 2016, I received the gift of life. I received my new lungs. I am very grateful to my donor, as I have been given a chance to spend more time with my wife and three children. I tell everyone to donate. I am an organ donor and so is my wife.

    I’m very sad to say that my husband passed away https://11.4.2017. He was a great father. He loved his mother and his brother and sisters very much. He is going to be greatly missed. Don’t know how to do this and don’t really want too. Love you always and forever.

    Rest in peace Arthur, you fought a good fight. You will always be remembered by me and my family as a very kind, generous and respectful man. You fought so hard to turn things around and live a good life only to be cheated time and again. I know you'll watch over Bre and the kids...I know you're in a better place and you're physical suffering has ended. I'm so sad for your family.? Deepest Sympathies, Aunt Laura

      Do you know a dr named Dr. Saggar? I believe he is a transplant surgeon there,

    May God continue to Bless you in your healing physically & spiritually, Arthur. You have come a long way & have so many people praying for you! I know it's so very hard for you too, Bre! Sometimes it's worse watching a loved one suffer than going through it yourself. You were so strong for Arthur & the kids. Love you guys, Paul, michelle, Kyle & Taylor

    Their no words in my heart to explain how grateful I am and how blessed you are in having a second chance in life. I know you're going through the roughest time trying to get those gifted longs to know your body. But after watching you 7 long days and 7 long nights with your wife Bre hoping and praying each and every day you come off the ventilator and begin your new life with those gifted lungs was heart breaking. I flew from Chicago with your dad's ashes I talked to your transplant team and I told them I brought your dad hoping he will help you. We put him at the foot of your bed and each and every day with tears in my eyes flowing I watch the monitor beep because your breathing wasn't good your wife and I would look at each wirh fear in our hesrts knowing things arent going good. But never once whisper our worst fear that we might lose you !!! I would talk to you saying son your dad is here with you, you can do this please fight your kids need you your wife I can't lose you now after your dad just left us. Our fears were getting worst each day you were continuing to stay on that vent .But that Mircle came when we thought we were at no end you finally began to breathe without the vent the best day of my life the relief the smile on your wife's face and mine. That look on your face when you open your eyes will forever be in my mind. I'm truly grateful for the donor whose life is no longer here but giving you his or her gifted lungs before he or she left this earth. Is so sad he or she life has ended but yours has just begun I do not believe in my heart that God would allow this to happen if it wasn't meant to be so please I know you're going through little bumps in the road which seems like mountains of hills that you'll never get over but you will .your a strong fighter and I know the God and your earthly father are walking with you threw this battle.I know the Donor who passed knew one day he or she would give back someone's life, and because of that you have a second chance .I can nevet ever express my gratitude to the donor but you can fight your hardest to let them see how appreciative you are for their lungs and your new gifted life As your mom has watched you for the two weeks I was there I seemed the fight you were fighting and the struggle . It was extemely painful not to beable to do something for you but I know with your wife's backbone and support soon you'll be enjoying those gifted lungs with each breath of fresh air you breathe and doing things you did once before. I will always be grateful to the Lord and the donor who saved my son and gave him two new longs to fight and survive. So I pray many people read your story and become donors and saved many other lives. Because it's a miracle to have you here. Keep fighting keep staying strong because I know between you and your wife and many prayers and love one day this will be just a memory of all the pain.. Lord Jesus thank you for saving my son and I thank the donor and please bless his / her family. "EVERYONE PLEASE BE A DONOR " l Love Son xoxo MOM
