After the OHSU transplant committee reviewed Ben's case he was approved to be listed for a heart transplant. Since he is in Cardiac ICU, on life sustaining IV medications and is the only person of his blood type listed in the North West (Oregon/Washington/Idaho/ Western Montana and Northern California) he goes to the top tier of the list (for his blood type). This is a real answer to prayer. Now "waiting on the Lord" begins.
While we believe as Scripture teaches, "the Lord gives and the Lord takes away" life is a precious gift from God. As you pray for Ben's life to be spared please consider praying for comfort for the families of those who lose loved ones and are sensitive enough to to offer life through being organ donors.
