Prayers for Crossroads/Karen?

Hey there, Crossroads/Karen a long time member here got the call early this morning for her liver transplant.  She is in the hospital now, the surgery will take place any time today.  I posted this on the cirrhosis forum, then thought that I should post it here too.
Not everyone from the HCV forum is on the Cirrhosis forum.  Karen is a loving, giving, caring woman who helped many of us through the awful Incivek tx, Then she was x with cancer, she has been fighting that while she waits for her transplant.  (I am hoping no one will mind me asking for prayers for her)

I know she would appreciate your prayers as she would gladly pray for you.  I am posting her information in case anyone might want to send her a note or message.  Understandably she is very afraid.

Thank you for your help, bless you

Wow... I knew she was in bad shape and was decomp way back when she was treating so this is not a big surprise. She was such a fighter during treatment, I hope everything goes well for her.

Thank you Dee for the updates, your about as sweet as they come.

Karen ..... it is great to hear from you and it is wonderful that you are doing so well. If anyone can succeed at this, it is certainly you.

Wow, 2 miles already today and only 16 days from transplant. That is fantastic.

Yes, we had some "interesting" times (an understatement, to say the least, LOL) during triple med treatment, but we attained SVR and that is what matters.

Keep us posted.

Wishing you the very best in the coming months and years.   : )

Oh my sweethearts! Gosh Pooh and Can do and Magnum. We've certainly been together in this journey a long time. You are all my homies from treatment days. What a mess we were on those first protease inhibitors. Haha. It's a miracle that we're all here together.
Dee and I have stayed close. When the tumor came back and it got close to transplant I worried about the blog. Her tender heart and sweet words are encouraging my readers. We still direct traffic back here for those who need a personal connection because of our bonds  with you all. She's my angel friend.
Thank you so much for the prayers and love to my new friends on here too. This is my home base! It's really where my desire to write was born. Right on my journal here at Medhelp.
I'm 16 days out and walked 2 miles today. I'm still a fighter and trained hard for the transplant. Never say quit...
Love and hugs,
xo Karen:)
