    This week on Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast, BJ sits down with Kathy Anderson, a true pioneer in the transplant community. Kathy received her life-saving heart transplant over 38 years ago, making her one of the longest-living heart recipients around.

    Her story begins at just 20 years old, when she was pregnant with twin daughters. What should have been the happiest time of her life quickly turned frightening when a prescribed medication caused severe and lasting damage to her heart. Suddenly, Kathy found herself in the hospital, dependent on an LVAD to stay alive—all while caring for newborn twins.

    Now, nearly four decades later, Kathy shares her incredible journey of resilience, faith, and family. She tells BJ how she’s planning something big when she reaches her 40-year transplant anniversary—a celebration worthy of the miracle she’s living every day.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by organ transplantation or searching for a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.

    Gift of Life 85 The Organ Transplant Podcast
    2025/12/09

    This week, we meet Wayne Adam Greer — a husband, father, grandfather, pastor, and author whose faith and resilience carried him through one of life’s biggest challenges.

    Wayne’s journey began with what seemed like nothing more than a stubborn cold that just wouldn’t go away. After weeks of no improvement, he headed to the ER expecting a simple diagnosis like bronchitis — but instead, doctors discovered he was in congestive heart failure. Within three months, his condition worsened to cardiomyopathy, but through medication and care, his heart stabilized, allowing him to enjoy 17 more blessed years.

    Then, the unthinkable happened — his heart began to fail again. Facing the ultimate test of faith, Wayne would go on to receive a life-saving heart transplant, giving him not just more time, but a renewed purpose to share his story and inspire others.

    This episode will leave you speechless.

    Meet Chris Goff, a man whose life changed in a single week. One moment, he walked into the emergency room—just hoping for answers—and the next, he was fighting for his life. Within days, Chris’s heart gave out, and he was placed on ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)—a machine that literally worked as his heart and lungs—keeping him alive until a donor heart could be found.

    And then, the miracle happened… just one week later.

    You’ll hear Chris share the raw, emotional details of what it’s like to be shocked without sedation, to face death head-on, and to hold on to hope even when everything seems impossible. His courage, gratitude, and faith shine through every moment of his story.

    This is not just a medical miracle—it’s a testament to the power of organ donation and the strength of the human spirit.
