Amanda Lappin who was just featured in the Orange County Register on Saturday (front page). She is in need of pancreas and kidney, was 1st on the donor list when her insurance dropped her. I don’t know the details, but here is the link.

We are looking for ways to get the word out so that the insurance company will take responsibility for the transplant.
P.S. Amanda’s sister is in the Olympics right now (softball team).
My WordPress blog on transplants, Sifting Time, is fairly new, but some of my other resources have substantial coverage. I’ll be happy to post this around the internet.
It’s sad that the insurance companies wield such a heavy hand in an industry where barriers need to be reduced as much as possible.
My heart, prayers, and the full weight of my words are with you.
