A friend of my son, he's 6. His mum died of cystic fibrosis on Thursday at 38.
She needed new lungs, but didn't get them in time. I don't know what the system is in the UK. In Ireland if ye don't carry a donor card, your next of kin had to be asked if the hospital can use anything useful to help someone else.
Anyway if it's the same, I'd ask all of ye to think seriously about what you'd like to be done with your organs if you had a bad accident.
fair enough some might be against it, but you never know when 1 of your family might need help too. It's a topic that should be raised when ye meet up with family over Christmas.
I'll just end it by saying that the lad had asked Santa earlier in November for new lungs for his mam. Poor lad
