RE: Keith Easterwood
Updates by Michael Cain, Organizer
So, we have some news but it's not good news. Keith has been rejected from the first donor list. We are continuing to get him assistance and are working to be added to other donor lists. Please, if you can donate, we would appreciate the help, as this just makes for more expenses, tests, trips to clinics, etc. etc.

Praying for Keith, his Doctors, Nurses, & his treatments. etc.
There's an increasing number of liver transplants using portions of livers donated by a living relative or friend.
Living donor liver transplants are possible because the liver has the unique ability to regenerate itself. In the procedure, the surgical team removes the diseased liver from the recipient, then transplants a portion of the donor's liver in its place. The donor's remaining portion of liver quickly grows back to its original size, within eight weeks or sooner.
Having a living donor not only reduces the waiting time until transplant, it improves the chance for transplant success. Patients who receive transplants from living donors can better prepare for their surgery, knowing well in advance when the transplant will take place. Also, the liver itself is "fresher" because the donor and recipient are in nearby operating rooms and the donated liver portion is transported within minutes.
