Are there any blogs for family members of person going through transplant?
My entire family has been going through a hellish nightmare of waiting for a heart and kidney transplant for my husband. One setback and hle after another. I am trying to look for some support (to blog or email someone) who might be going through the same thing. I've found a lot of inspirational reading online but no person to person contact which I am in desperate need of. Nobody really understands what we go through unless they are faced with the same situation. I looked at books online to read (something similar to what we are going through). All I have found are books about the wonderful joy-filled journey to transplant. Our experience has been a total stress filled and frightening experience and it isn't over yet. They have support groups at our hospital but after working, dealing with my husband's care, keeping up my house, playing referee for my grown children I don't have to time or strength to drive 45 miles into Chicago to attend a support group. If anyone out there can give me some help I would so appreciate it. This journey will either culminate in my husband's death or a transplant. I have such mixed emotions knowing that my husband getting the needed organs will result in the tragic death of someone elses beloved family member.
