41. Haven't read that info anywhere.

The first set she received were of poor quality? Seriously? I haven't read that anywhere.

I have read and heard from several sources that adult lungs are not an adequate fit for a small child's lung cavity. That, is a fact.

Nobody was willing or waiting to take that first set of lungs? I haven't read that anywhere neither.

I think you are bringing up lots of hypothetical situations that I haven't seen any substantiation of evidence to support. Maybe you can share with me those sources of info you've pulled all this from.

As for your final conclusion; interesting. I don't see any of that information being relative to this situation. Poor overall physical condition should probably be a factor. Out-living the expected span when you have poor overall health is a nice story - but, again, irrelevant.

I have trouble accepting posts with info that is either unsubstantiated, or worse yet, made up. How about a few sources, and I'll buy your points.
