HENDRICK'S NIECE RECEIVED LIVER TRANSPLANT, IS IN STABLE CONDITION

Posted 11/24/09 at 9:47 AM PST by | Email This |

During a conference call with reporters on Tuesday, Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick said that his 29-year-old niece, Alesha Gainey, received a liver transplant on Sunday. She is not conscious, but is in stable condition, and all signs point toward recovery. Hendrick left Florida before the championship-deciding Ford 400 to support Gainey and her family while she awaited an emergency liver transplant at a North Carolina hospital. Gainey is the daughter of the late John Hendrick, Rick's brother who died in the 2004 plane crash near Martinsville Speedway. The crash also claimed the lives of John's twin daughters and Rick's son, among others.
 
Hendrick said he received a phone call from Gainey's husband on Friday alerting him to Gainey's condition, which Hendrick labeled "critical." He flew home Friday night. On Saturday, Gainey's health deteriorated. Hendrick called the day "very grim." On Sunday Gainey's health improved enough to allow for transplant surgery. The owner said that he ducked into the waiting room on a few occasions to watch the race and saw the end, when Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson won his record fourth straight Sprint Cup title, but the race was not even close to his main concern. "I could not have enjoyed the race or celebration," he said. "I needed to be there with my family."
 

Hendrick said the healing process will be slow - he said Gainey's kidneys have yet to start functioning and "we are not out of the woods yet" - but her progress thus far is encouraging. Said Hendrick, "The good news is the liver is working, she's stable and we're going to have a very good Thanksgiving.''

He picked it up and weighed it in his hand. At least two pages of her heavy, cream writing paper. He dreaded reading it; she would probably beg him to come back, making him feel even more guilty. He tore it open and sat down to her bold, precise handwriting.The hair on the back of John Howell’s neck began to move around."One of them is in her twenties," said the Knave, "and the other no more than fifteen or sixteen. They are two sisters who are also sisters-in-law, being married to two brothers. Their husbands' family has produced officials over many generations, but no one in this generation has succeeded in the higher examinations. These two are nominal licentiates who, for all their studies, are quite ill educated. The elder brother's name is Scholar Cloud-Reposer, and he's been married to the woman in her twenties for four or five years now. The younger one's name is Scholar Cloud-Recliner, and he's been married to the fifteen- or sixteen-year-old for less than three months. Both wives are as beautiful as the woman I've just described, but they're also prudish. They don't move or say anything during sex and they give the distinct impression of not liking it. But although Noting that the description of the two women roughly fitted the two girls he had seen a few days before, Vesperus was reluctant to let the matter drop. "Brother," he said, "you are perfectly right, but there's one point you've overlooked. You said the two women are prudish and lack sexual desire and therefore it would not be easy to make a move. I suspect they may be like that only because their husbands' endowment is so tiny and their stamina so inadequate that the wives get no pleasure from sex. If they met up with me, I submit that they would soon be relieved of their prudery."

Its been seven months almost, crazy dose not seem that long at all. I haven't heard any news on how Alesha Gainey is doing my family and I really would like to know. The liver that Alesha got is my sister Paige's, she died of a brain anurizum November 20th and was pernounced dead November 21st 2009. We were in Mooresville North Carolina when it happened and she was transported to Charlette North Carolina, that is where my family and I had to make the decision to donate her organs. I'm glad that we did, we got news letters from the hospital, they informed us that there were 7 people who got my sisters organs, who all where doing well, one of the lady's who was in the letters was a 29 year old mother of two. We found out by friends of ours who happened to be watching Nascar that the 29 year old mother of two, i do believe the letter said twins, was in fact your niece. We recently moved back to Oregon where we are from, we have not gotten any more news letter so I decided to try to get a hold of the 7 recipetants myself. I realize how hard all this is and you don't have to respond to me if your not ready, I just want to know if Alesha is doing well.
Thanks so much, Gods speed.

Dear Mr.Hendrick, When watching the race on Sunday and heard about your niece having a transplant. I started praying immediately for the entire family. I am home sick with pnuemonia myself but I could at least lift your family up to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am going to continue praying for you all.I have been looking everywhere I could think of to find out how things were going and here I am. I am HMS biggest fan but I am a fan of you mostly because you are a man that puts nothing in front of their family. God Bless You and Your Family. You all will continue to be in my prayers until I hear anything else.
