Holly's not had such a good morning, with sickness plaguing her and making her feel a bit rubbish.
The kidney is still not working but the good news is they did a scan to check everything and it all looks fine. She's on dialysis at the moment just to support her body till this kidney decides to wake up. Hopefully just a matter of time and as her mum said "it's now a waiting game".
Holly is in the Royal Liverpool Hospital in ward 9A if you would like to send a card.
Thanks for your ongoing support :)

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
I am proud to be the North West Advocate for
Be a Hero: Put the Kettle on! And while you are at it, sign up to the Organ Donor Register

Hi Holly, I don't know how pap you must be feeling right now and there can't be much that will pull you out of it. Just keep using that determination of yours and it'll get you through, p.s. now is a great time to think of anything you want cos I know from experience that you'll prob get anything you ask for right now - a new cd might help take your focus from how hard stuff is x
I was so pleased to hear you got your transplant at last :-) Thanks Claire for letting me know. I hope your kidney wakes up soon. loads of love from Sarah and all the family xx
wake up kidney! hope you feel better soon. i'm sure it won't be long before it stops being so sleepy. lots o f love xxx
I'm sure it will start to work soon. Agree with Oli that now is a time when you are more likely to get what you want tho I'm sure that you now have the thing you want most (well you will when it starts to work). Hope you feel better soon and will be able to attemp the other Holly's feat of running down the stairs.
Sending healing thoughts your way.
Claire.
Thinking of you and sure an emotional and exhausting time for you waiting for your kidney transplant to 'wake up' fully...can happen to some as sure you well aware...
Sending positive vibes to you and your family too...
