My heart goes out to Linda, her husband, her kids, and anyone else that has to go through this ongoing nightmare with her every step of the way. Your fight is inspirational! Keep up your spirits and walk out of the hospital very soon.

I can't even fathom $5 mill in medical bills and the suffering Linda and her family is dealing with right now. I hope her sons are a match and the transplant gets her back on the road to recovery. Keep fighting Linda!
