    I wish her all the luck with her new face, donors are amazing. "She saved five lives and then the facial donation to Carmen" So she saved 6 lives. Dont underestimate the incredible gift that Carmen got from your sister. She also got her life saved by this donation. Even if the donation only lasts 7 years like the last time, its still SEVEN years of normality that she got to have

      I see how the family meant it- the 5 lives were likely organs and the other was Carmen whose body was beginning to reject the face transplant she had. I see what you mean but I just think the family meant it that way. The interesting thing is with the drug history I didn’t realize the body would be able to provide organ donation- due to the drugs in the system especially the liver.

    Now this is bravery! I have an extremely challenging life. I have both ASD & ADHD and am widowed raising my 4 children with similar neurodiversities completely on my own. So hard I’ve often thought of giving up. Seeing Carmen facing her unimaginably difficult circumstances while staying positive is incredibly inspiring!

My heart goes out to the family who donated their loved ones organs and face... It must have been hard for them. Once they did their research and make the choice to donate I bet they now know yes it was the right decision. I hope they all get to meet up soon and remember the lady who's death also gave hope and life to so many after her passing.

      Such a beautiful thing for you to do. It's because of people like you that gave my brother with cystic fibrosis another chance at life. Sadly there were complications after the surgery and he passed but it gave us all hope because without it he was close to dying anyways. Despite my brothers outcome it's still so important to be a donor. Saves lives. From the bottom of my heart thank you to you and your sons.

      @sveapearson693 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I mean I think it's more than looks. A face transplant is transplanting skin literally made for the face. In cases where her own skin is so badly damaged... New skin is important. The skin protects the inside of the body from bacteria, exposure, as well as numerous things. It's not just looks, it has function.
