Emily here :)
Quick update on Holly - that kidney continues to slowly rise from its slumber which is fab stuff! On the downside, Holly has been moved to isolation as her white blood cell count has dipped a bit. This is due to being heavily immunosupressed at the moment. She's feeling a bit poorly so any lovely messages of support would be very much appreciated I'm sure.
I went up to meet the battlefront campaign team today on Holly's behalf - they were all so lovely, eager to hear how Holly is doing and all asking me to send her lots of love...the main aim now is to really get Holly's campaign up and running for her!

About Me
- Holly
- My name's Holly Shaw and I'm 22 years old... I recently graduated from my Early Childhood Studies Degree and now work as a Qualified Nursery Nurse which I love. At the beginning of 2005 I was diagnosed with Kidney failure and dialysed 3 x a week for 4 years. I received my new kidney on 25th October 2008. It truly is the gift of life and thanks to the generosity of my donor and their family I will be able to fulfill some of my dreams. I am passionate about raising awareness of the chronic shortage of Organ Donors in the UK. I am a Trustee for the transplant charity Live Life Then Give Life and run my own campaign called The Gift of Life. My family are a huge support to me, I am truly grateful and love them lots, but it is thanks to my Donor I am here to do all this x

It is such a shame she has had all this hastle getting better after the op. Hope she gets better soon and can get back on with life and enjoy all those hours she used to spend on dialysis. Sending healing thoughts her way.
