You guys have no idea how close to home this story hits me. My mom suffered from kidney failure. After years of dialysis treatment she received a kidney transplant only to have it reject and return back to dialysis. A year or two later she received a second transplant, which she lived with for well over 20 years. To this date, I personally don't know of anyone having survived with a kidney for that long.

A few years ago, she, like Mr. Springs, fell into a coma unrelated to the actual transplant and passed a few days after I returned home from the west coast. My heart really, really goes out the Springs family.

I'll be praying for them. The suffering of a loved one in a coma cannot be expressed in words.
