When my daughter, age 15 months, lost her transplanted kidney just hours after receiving it leading to her aorta becoming totally occluded and then, as a result, the surgeons discussing having to remove her legs. On the bright side, she suddenly and unexpectedly developed collaterals and her legs were saved. It was a week of very high highs and very low lows. The death of my mother and others close to me do not compare to that week.
