Sarah Murnaghan, the 10-year-old girl in need of a lung transplant, is on her way to the operating room, her mother, Janet Ruddock Murnaghan, said in a post on her Facebook page.
"God is great! He moved the mountain! Sarah got THE CALL," Murnaghan wrote. She added:
"Please pray for Sarah's donor, her HERO, who has given her the gift of life. Today their family has experienced a tremendous loss, may God grant them a peace that surpasses understanding. Please pray for Sarah and her surgical team and our whole family! We are overwhelmed with emotions!!!! Thank you to all of you for the unending support. Xoxoxo!! God bless! Today is the start of Sarah's new beginning and new life!"
As we reported, Sarah's family asked a federal judge to relax the rules regarding the waiting list for an adult lung transplant. Normally, preference is given to patients who are 12 and older.
Kathleen Sebelius declined to comment on her failure to reduce obamacare costs.
