I hope your daughter gets a new heart soon. It must be very hard to see your child terminally ill like that... I wish you and your daughter all the strength you need. Hi Anneli,

Thanks for sharing your story. I hope your daughter gets a new heart soon. It must be very hard to see your child terminally ill like that… I wish you and your daughter all the strength you need.

Swedish media has been very interested in this (fake) show. My personal interest in this question is that I myself had a heart transplant 19 years ago and now my 16 year old youngest daughter is waiting for a new heart as well. When I was terminally ill with heart failure I was convinced that I would die, I was very sad that I wouldn't see my new born baby (now 19 1/2 year old daughter) grow up. After the transplant it just took me a couple of days to shift my thinking to: "I must recover as quickly as possible, I have to come home now at once. I have to take care of my baby!" It took me just a couple of weeks in hospital before I could go home! The thing is that when you are close to death your brain doesn't get enough oxygen and you cannot be altogether responsible for how you think. If a dying person doesn't show the right attitude you must look behind that and see how the person was when he or she still was healthy. Take care and please sign your donor cards! /anneli/ Hello, this is Anneli from Sweden with a comment.
