that's great, excellent publicity Hope he comes home on Xmas Day

Oh Misdee that is wonderful, I really wish there was something that I could do - wave a wand or whatever

I still can't get my head around how sorted and together you are Misdee when you have to constantly lived with Peter's condition like this. I really admire you.

Good article - hopefully it will inspire more people to carry donor cards.

I really do hope the article raises more awareness for the need of donor organs. That's a lovely photo of you and the girls.

Was just to about to post after eading the article but HMC says exactly what I was about to. Great article, beautiful girls!

thanks. if it gets one more person o the register then it'll be worth it.

well done misdee, I hope it raises lots of publicity.

Fabulous article and your girls are so so so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet/really hope everyone who reads, gets on the donor list.

Well done, Misdee. Hopefully it will jog the memories of thoe people who are always meaning to get around to registering as donors but forget to actually do it.

I echo what everyone else here has said Misdee - you really are amazing.

I'm sure everyone wishes they could help more, and the fact is that we can - at least in the broadest sense - by making more people aware of the issues surrounding Organ Donation. I followed the link to the UK transplant site and found that they have an e-mail Christmas card here:

here

If we all sent this to friends and family then awareness might increase and even a few more donors come forward....

misdee, i really hope he will be home for christmas. i was always in doubt whether or not to be a donor. since i heard of peter and you, i now carry a donor card and have registered online.

• lovely picture of you and the girls, and great article. Everything crossed for you that he can get home for Christmas. x

misdee, what a great article. I don't think anyone could fail to be moved by that. Shame they don't have an "add your comments here" bit on their website.

WE MAY BE GOING NATIONAL!!!

am shaking now, national, oh my. hehe.

I so hope it gets all the coverage it deserves nationally!!! You are an amazing woman to keep going in the circumstances you do - what lucky girls that their mum is so positive! Hope christmas is great for you allx

he'll be getting his own copy of the paper, it'll probably go on the pinboard at the hospital as well.

misdee that is a lovely piece and a super pic of you and the girls.
Agree with others, hop eit inspires everyone who reads it to carry a card.
I do and all my family know my wishes.

misdee, i read the article it should do a lot of good, my husband & myself have now registered.
i hope your husband gets a heart soon, also i hope he gets home for christmas.
my best wishes to peter you & the girls.

Great Misdee. Like you said, if it gets one more person involved then brilliant.
You are a wonderful person Misdee and deserve all the great admiration you get from fellow mumsnetter, you really do.
And your girls are gorge

After reading what Miaou wrote... is there an address for the letters section that we could write too - they can then run a pile of letters in support too.
