an anonymous donor saved her. it was a part of a paired donor program. doctors at the university of iowa say they're helping to cut down on the wait time for people in dire need of new organs. debbie hein's problems started after an alaskan cruise 3 years ago. "i started feeling sick to my stomach all the time."after testing, doctors told her it wasn't a virus she'd caught or something she'd eaten on the trip, but kidney failure. "i ended up on dialysis, which was a real shock." debbie endured 3 years of dialysis, and was placed on a constantly-growing waiting list for a transplant. "there aren't enough organs to go around; about 100 patients are added to the waiting list every day."to make matters worse, debbie has type-o blood, the most common. her husband mark and her sister teresa, both of whom elected to donate a kidney, have type ab. to solve this incompatibility , teresa, who debbie calls "her angel," entered into a paired donor program. "the anonymous donor donates to a donor recipient pair whose donor is incompatible. that donor, in

turn, donates to someone else, and if you keep this going, there becomes a never-ending chain." meaning that even when teresa's kidney couldn't work for debbie, it did work for someone else. "she was my paired donor. she donated a kidney, so that i could receive a kidney." but debbie's struggle wasn't over, as doctors found something completely new during surgery. "they discovered that i had some spots on my liver." it turned out to a slow- growing malignancy. a devastating blow, but one that forced her and her family to fight even harder. "i didn't want to let my sister down, because she gave so much that i didn't want to give up." only a few months after her kidney surgery, debbie got a new liver. "i've gotten stronger and better every day." all of that, just in time to enjoy the holidays with the family she loves so much. "we just kept fighting, and here we are. we're still here, and we're going to enjoy that family." militia in oregon have taken over a national wildlife refuge.
