Fairbanks resident Patrick Holland found — and then lost — his chance at an ideal match for a heart transplant last week as poor weather sent air travel into disarray.
ended up temporarily shutting down all of the runways at Sea-Tac early Friday morning and led to hundreds of flight cancellations.“I posted to Facebook. I prayed. I asked for prayer. I messaged furiously with various people. One friend graciously attempted a different avenue to buy a ticket for me, only to be thwarted at every turn,” she wrote on the blog.
As the plane began to descend four hours later — it was early Friday morning at that point — Holland heard an announcement from the pilot that at first he thought was a mistake.“My gut turned into a hundred knots thinking she must have put me on the wrong flight. Why would it take four hours to get to Anchorage?” Holland wrote.
His wife updated the transplant blog just after 10:30 a.m. Friday: “They gave the heart to someone else. Patrick will be coming home.”
