Uno…

My prayers are with you…

Good luck to her..Hopes she gets better.

Wonderful Miss Cole!!!! Here’s to your health, all the best – *Ching Ching*

Outstanding news! Gotta root for her!

Praise God! My father got a kidney transplant 3 yrs ago. I remember the dialysis 3 days a week (TTS), the cold spells, the infection from his stint, the jaundice in his eyes… Just thank Jesus, cause that is a real blessing! I hope and pray that it is not rejected! Stay strong Natalie!

“GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!” I just have to shout it sometimes. I’m praying for you N. Cole.

How long are people typically on the list for a kidney donor? It almost seems as though celebrities get preferential treatment.

Aw, yeah!!!! I am really excited

Yeah, that’s great, but I wonder how many people got “bumped down” the list because she was famous??? When she appeared on Larry King talking about her plight for a new kidney, hundreds of people called to pledge support…I wish everyone that needs a kidney could use fame to get “bumped up” on the list….

Well praise God for that!!!

im happy for her but i do feel that she got one faster bcuz shes a celebrity. my husbands father had to wait 5 yrs. to finally get a new kidney

I was so happy to hear this news! I hope all goes well for her and she can get healthy again.

Still a beautiful woman at 59. Great genes

This is great news! Love you, Natalie. Stay healthy!!

How did she get a kidney so fast?!? When she was on Larry King a few weeks ago, she said there were PLENTY of names on the list before her, and her case wasn’t that urgent. She made it seem as if her chances of getting a kidney anytime soon were very slim unless someone (a live person) decided to donate one to her.

So if she got a kidney from a deceased donor, through an organ procurement agency, she definitely got preferential treatment or paid somebody off.

On Larry King, Natalie made it clear she was in no imminent danger but was hoping for a new kidney so she wouldn’t have to undergo the inconvenience of dialysis, especially since she travels a lot.

I hope someone at the top of the list who is gravely ill doesn’t die because she jumped the line.

she needed that kidney because of her years as a
herion addict…

I know she’s Nat King Cole’s daughter, but her voice irritates me..

I don’t know of one hit that she’s had, her voice

sound like a bunch of cats in a bag fighting…

I wish her well, but I still don’t see her

talent…Sorry, I just don’t…

GOOD LUCK TO U MRS. COLE. MY MOM WAS A DIALYSIS PATIENT FOR 15YRS AND NEVER HAD A TRANSPLANT. SHE LIVED A RATHER PAINFUL, IN/OUT OF HOSPITAL AND GOING TO THE HOSPITAL 3X’S A WEEK LIFE. BUT THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD SHE MANAGED TO SURVIVE 15YRS ON THE MACHINE, WHICH NOT SO MANY DIALYSIS PATIENT CAN DO SO. I WISH SHE WAS STILL HERE-LOVE U. RIP MOM.

I wish Natalie Cole well in her recovery… I myself have about 20% left in my kidney (I was only born with 1) and I will be undergoing dialysis in a few months… Natale has had a superb career although she fell victim to drugs… Her hits were “Our Love”, “This will be(our everlasting love) , Unforgettable, her father’s remake which garnered her a Grammy… God bless her…

Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

natalie cole does not hAVE LONG TO LIVE.

here’s to a long, healthy life!!

Good for her.

They didn’t “bump” anybody down the list for her, she’s been on that list for a while. Kidney complications go hand in hand with Hep C. This was expected by her and her doctor, she probably got in early at the first sign of problems.

My sister is battling Hep C and we’ve got our eyes open for the kidney problems. I don’t know if I match her, though. We’ll have to see.

Not that anyone cares, since this only got 27 posts, but you don’t get “bumped” up on the list because of money. See, a kidney is just like giving blood, has to be a match, and they go up the list. They call you, and you have like 2 hrs to get to the hospital. If not, it’s on to the next available recipient, etc. This is how my father got his. It was going to another person, but they were out of town for the holidays (December 2005), and he wasn’t. We rushed him to the hospital @ 2AM for that kidney! And it didn’t take right away. They said he got a “weak” kidney, and the doctor actually had to “thump it” to get it working. It is working well now, but he still has other complications in general, from being so sick for so long. It took him 2 yrs AFTER he got on the list (it’s not immediate – there is lots of screening) to get a kidney. It took my grandmother, his mother, 3, and her mother (my great grandmother)died from it and never got one.
I sometimes wonder where that leaves me?

Goes to show that you can BUY ORGANS (but people cant sell them!?!? B.S.) People are on the organ donor list for YEARS and she magically gets one…suspicious.

I’m happy to read this I hope she turns out well. She recently canceled a show here in S. Korea had no idea she was having surgery.
